I used Startup Master to keep my e-mails private. However, by just keep clicking 'cancel' when asked for the password, Thunderbird opens and you can read all my mails. Is there any bug in that add-ons?. It's not only happened in add-on, I happens in default master password too.

StartupMaster, like the master password, protects your passwords from unwanted view, not your email:

Master password alone never prevents access to mail. You really should be relying on your computer security to prevent unwanted access to mail stored on your computer.
