Password for an email sent in outlook

The issue with putting a password for an outlook file is possible. This can be applied to Outlook accounts with POP3 or the HTTP. What type of email account do you have? We need to verify it first it this solution will apply. You can do the following steps, first check the folder that you would like to set up a password for.  For POP3 or HTTP accounts just go to Properties and click the folder and type your password. Make sure to use passwords that are strong enough in characters so it would be hard for a person to access your account illegally. Remember your PASSWORDS always.
