Can you password protect a particular folder in Outlook 2013 so no other user can access that folder on my desktop?

We utilize Office 365 with Outlook 2013 client.
I just want to password protect one folder and not the entire mailbox.

No you cannot set a password but depending on how your Exchange Server (services) are setup, you can change the permissions of the folder so only YOU have access to the folder.

Jason... that's what I figured. I wonder if there is any 3rd party utility, like an add-on to Outlook that would accomplish this task?

The scenario is that it's a supervisor PC and some of her colleagues uses her computer occasionally throughout the day and the supervisor just didn't want them to have access to one folder in her Outlook.
So the supervisor is logged in, she steps away (for whatever reason), a colleague may access the computer and see emails.
Based on what you are looking to do, it is not possible and from what I can see there is no 3rd party add-on to do this. I may now write one :)
