I've reckonned that while you can set a password for all folders, I would like
to be able to set a password for a specific folder (which contains, fyi, private
emails from my ex-gf, so there, my reason for needing it. :P). The picture
attatched to this bugreport should explain most of it; I want to be able to
password protect the "Privat" folder but the Inbox should be publically
available. This is very convenient when you leave your mailprogramme on for long
times and leave the computer for example; you don't need about curious people
sticking their noses into private stuff. :)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Thunderbird
2. Rightclick on any folder
3. No ability to set password :(

;)

Actual Results:  
Nothing really. :D

Expected Results:  
Had an option to password protect each folder.

None needed.

This will never be looked into, even less fixed/implemented, will it?

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
