Address Book and Mail "Local Folders" Password Protection is needed to deploy in
an office/work environment, a functionality  that Outlook ".pst" files support
and is widely used.
Then, to ease the backup process of all personal info, may I suggest that the
location of all this information be specifiable during initial setup. I know how
to change the location of the Local Folders, but there is no way to change the
location of the address book, for example. All this info might be located in the
same directory tree, with a configurable root location.

Thanks!

Master Passwords, and the profile manager can deal with most of your requests.
If the address book isn't covered by the master password (I'm not sure as I
don't use it), then you want bug 16489 which seeks to password-protect the
entire profile.
