Email password instead of phone password

I saw older threads about this, but wanted to know if there was anything new. Is there anyway to have a password for just my email, not my gmail or the whole phone. I just want one for my outlook email that is pushed to my phone.

Bummer, I was realy hoping someone would have an idea.

Could you rephrase your question, or better explain what you're trying to accomplish? Maybe I'm particularly slow today (very possible given it's Monday) but I don't understand what you're asking.

All email accounts, whether you're using the Gmail app or the stock Email app require a password. Gmail uses your Google account password, that you enter when you set up your Google account sync. The Email account password is entered when you set up the account for a particular email address.

Are you wanting the Email app to prompt you for a password every time you wish to view emails for that account?

That is exactly what I want. I want it to prompt me for my password everytime I try to access the email, but I don't want to have to password protect my whole phone. I get my work emails on my phone and want them more secure. Sorry if my first post was confusing.
