Hi, This is shared computer, so I have set up a primary password to access Thunderbird. But If I click "Anuluj" (Polish word for Cancel) - look picture TB1.png, the program still opens, asking me for a password again, but now in English (look picture TB2.png). After denying password twice, the email list shows up in the backgruond while asking for password again. If I deny the password for the third time (look picture TB3.png) I can freely browse all emails there. Any ideas on how to fix this?

The documentation for Primary password is only to protect passwords. What you want is in a bug report that has been 'talked about' for almost five years with little chance of being fixed. Your best chance of security is to set up a private Windows account (assuming you use Windows) and putting Thunderbird there.
