Ask For Password is a password protection script for Microsoft Outlook Express and Microsoft Entourage. The script provides the same level of security found in Outlook Express version 4.x. The script prompts you for a password when your emailer is launched. It also allows you to change your password and set certain characteristics of the script via a built-in user interface. The script has full support for multiple identities.

The first time the script is run (and when the Command key is held down during script startup), the script displays a settings window allowing you to configure the script options. The script optionally closes the emailer's Main Window immediately at startup, leaving the contents hidden until the user enters the password correctly. When the user enteres the password correctly, the script displays the emailer's Main Window and allows the user to access to the emailer.

What's New:
Changed the code for opening and closing the Main window and for obtaining the current identity into raw event code. This prevents AppleScript from asking you to locate "Outlook Express" or "Microsoft Entourage" if you do not have it installed. The bad side effect of this is that you have to edit some parts of the script each time you save the script, or the script will generate errors the next time you run it. If you edit the script, please read the IMPORTANT NOTICE at the top of the script and follow the instructions for best results.

Requirements:
Microsoft Outlook Express version 5.x or Microsoft Entourage.
In order to run this script, you need to have two scripting additions installed in the Scripting Additions folder of the System Folder: S?ndi's Additions and Dialog Director.
