Outlook - Can I be prompted for password for an IMAP account

Can I set up outlook to connect to an IMAP server, but to prompt for a Username and Password each time Outlook is opened?

The reason for this is that I have a few Windows 7 standalone PCs with Outlook 2007 installed, but these PCs do not require a user sign on (to enable users to get access from anywhere in the office) (No Domain).  The users have IMAP accounts and currently access via webmail, but I would like to offer an email client functionality to enable users to be able to email attachments directly from applications such as word.

Regards

Mark.

Hi,

We can configure Outlook to not remember your password. Clear the check box before Remember password when you setup your IMAP account. See the screen shot below:

Now, when we start Outlook, it will prompt for your password.

Is this what you want? If Ive misunderstood something, please feel free to let me know.

Best Regards,
