I have apprx 21 user prompts set up for Outlook 2007.

My questions are:
1) is there a limit of profiles, that can be set up?
2) if I use a PST password - can it be the same as the profile password?
3) I am correct in saying that when I get prompted for the profile to use  -
it will prompt me for both the PST and Profile password?

I've never heard of one.

Sure.  It can be whatever you want.  However, mail profiles don't have
passwords.  Are you referring to the Windows user profiles?  If so, you
don't need to password-protect the PSTs.  Password-protect the Windows
users.

It will prompt you for whatever password is associated with the PST
referenced by the mail profile.  I don't believe the mail profile itself has
a password, as I said.

Thanks for the reply Brian

What I should have said was - the E-mail Pop 3 password, instead of profile.

I have tested and both will work .  just did not know whether or not they
can be the same.

I will test that today

Yes - I have my own answer they can be the same password
