Can I put a password on a particular folder in my inbox?
I want to keep one of the folders in my inbox secure from prying eyes who may have access to my email. Can I password protect a particular folder?
Chosen solution
There is an add-on, Profile Password, and there is something built in:
What I don't quite know about any of these is what happens if you walk away from the computer. Does it re-lock automatically, like a screensaver? Do you have to specifically lock it?
Stopping other folk from getting in is all well and good, but what happens after you have unlocked it?
Why don't you give your users their own windows logins? Each with their own profile?

You can't. Also see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Protect_the_profiles_contents
Thanks for the info, but I'm a tech dummy, so something complicated does not help. But at least I now know that it cannot be done simply.

We all have our own profiles, but if someone needs to use my computer for some reason, my e-mail is pretty accessible.
