In Outlook 2000, is there a way to stop a user from opening another user's inbox? The permissions on the inbox are only set for "default" and "anonymous" with both having no roles or permissions.
 
Set a password on the Personal Folders.

Right Click on 'Outlook Today' -> Properties -> Advanced... -> Change Password

Indifference will be the downfall of mankind, but who cares?
 
Following those steps didn't lead me to a "change password" option. The "advanced" button gave me 4 tabs, but none of them had an option to change passwords.
 
When you click the Advanced button under Outlook Today's Properties, what's the name of the window that opens? - Is it Personal Folders? If so, there should be a Change Password button when you're using Personal Folders.

Or is this on an Exchange server?
 
Is it not personal folders. It is the inbox itself. And we run exchange 2000.

Also, all the users in questions are members of the Administrators group. From what I can see, once someone is a member of the Administrators group, he/she can view anyone's inbox without barriers. Please correct if I'm wrong.
 
Minor detail there "And we run exchange 2000".

As the AD Administrators group are give admin rights on Exchange 2k anyone in that group will have full access.
