How do I prevent unauthorized access if someone has acquired info

How do I setup password protection for my email. Someone may have obtained
my info from a site that may have been questionable, like during an ebay
transaction.? Thanks

The only thing you can password protect in Outlook is the PST and that's
generall local to your PC. Unless someone has broken into your PC or can
access it physically, there's no point. If you mean the server from which
Outlook downloads mail, surely your ISP can tell you how to change the
password.

Thanks. So I probably need to call my IS server and get those passwords
changed and then just setup new accounts in outlook>? Thanks

Most ISPs also allow you to change the password online. Let's hope that
whoever has obtained your info hasn't already done that...

And yes, once you have changed your password you also need to change it
in your Outlook's account setup.

You don't need to set up new accounts in outlook - just change the password
on your existing ones.....
