I have my email account in thunderbird- protected with a account password and a master password This protects me for fetching new email

Question and problem: When I start thunderbird and then cancel the password, I can use the existing email in the inbox folder (and other folders just read)

Is there a way , so that no one can read it (eg those directories that it is linked to the password, and then pass access displays for the reading of existing e-mail)

Thunderbird stores mail on the hard disk in plain text. It is that simple, so obviously a password to stop the application finding mail is not going to stop windows search from finding readable copy. The only way to do what you want securely is use the inbuilt user accounts of your operating system.

If you want tinker toy security KOSMOS does make an add-on. But to quote him "It must be clear that for the characteristics of Thunderbird, a protection like this is very tiny and a smart user can bypass it easily."
