I'd still say that there should be a way to run multiple outlook profiles
with cached exchange under same windows login and have password protection
for the .OST file as there normally is for the stand alone .PST file. ...
I have a client with 4 retail stores, with total 35 users using same windows
logins for the store so POS + store documents can function with ease, but
with individual Exchange mailboxes. This is on remote locations so hence
Cached Exchange is needed to optimize speed of use. ....
Simply put; I consider it a security flaw that Outlook cannot lock down
offline folders if the Exchange password dialog is cancelled.

Brian Tillman suggested that this shouldn't be an issue. Well, it's not
except for two things: #1, everyone in this family uses the computer
WITHOUT
different user LOGONs. #2, especially now, near my wife's birthday, I have
e-mails that will (just by their subject lines) tell her at a glance what
I'm
getting her for her birthday.
If you're concerned AT ALL about this, then you'd make sure everyone has his
or her own user login. What you describe is like a patient of a doctor being
concerned about his bacterial infection but telling the doctor that he won't
use the prescribed medicine.
She loves surprises, but just from that
glance, she may very well know what I'm getting her. Besides, being a
mainframe computer programmer myself, I've never seen an application that is
secured by a logon routine that can be accessed simply by supplying NO
password, or worse yet, by hitting "Cancel", then being allowed access to
what is supposed to be secure. Microsoft, I think you've got a BUG here!
No bug at all. Outlook is designed to be used both offline and online. By
cancelling the online credentials, you've instructed Outlook to work offline
and it appropriately gives the user access to the data already on disk.
