What I'm gonna tell is senseless on Unix machines. Windows is not secure enough, and I don't want that anyone coming into my room could read my emails. When Mail&news is started, it automatically tries to download messages and Mozilla asks for the security password (not the POP3 password, that's stored by Mozilla, and is protected by this master password). But one can press ESC a few times and then he can do anything with my emails. What if there were an option, that if it's turned on, Mozilla couldn't be used without this master password. I would feel much safer. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
