[Macpartners] force mail (on exchange) to prompt for password

Hi,

Is there there a means for forcing the Mail.app on 10.8 and above to
prompt for the users password each time Mail is opened?  It appears that
once authenticated, the password is stored in the keychain.

I do know that Outlook affords the user the ability to select NOT to
remember the password, so if Microsoft is doing it, it should be
technically possible for apple's client. :-)

In my own tests I stopped short of converting the users mail setup to the
imap port to exchange but am pretty sure Mail.app will behave the same
(saving pwd).

I guess I'm looking for confirmation/affirmation of this, uh, feature.
*cough*

Cheers,
Aran
