(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Account Configuration, defect)

This is a feature request. I'm considering to replace the use of Windows 2000 on
my home desktop with Linux - using Mozilla as the default browser. One thing
that's keep me from doing this is the lack of password protected identities
in Mozilla. Password protected identities would allow me and other people in
my house to use Mozilla for reading their private email without requiring 
one to login to a different Linux account.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Just open Mail in Mozilla
2. Mozilla shows you the mail account without asking for any passd
3.

Actual Results:  
Mozilla doesn't have any concept of passwd protected Identities.

Expected Results:  
Mozilla should ask for a passwd before it lets you access a Mail account.
