Making some folders Private
 
Back in 30th July I posted a query about having some folders in The Bat (6.7.2) private, or more correctly the messages moved to that folder are unreadable to a casual reader.
My query never received a reply, so I'm re-posting.
Some emails I respond to and receive I'd prefer to keep private, and I'm wondering if there is a solution available ?
I'd consider encryption, but is it achievable ?   I'd thought of running an external program to encrypt only those emails from selected addresses, then moving them to another folder, but can it be done, and has another done it ?
Thanks
Dave
 
AFAIK It can't be done to encrypt/pasword protect only specific folders.

Basically there are two options (within TB) for what you want.
1) Switch to OTFE (On The Fly Encryption) This means that you'll use an encrypted message base. Nobody can start TB without entering the master password during start up. However, when TB is running, everybody can read everything. OTFE is only available in the pro version.

2) Password protect a single (or multiple) account(s). TB can be started by everybody, but the password protected accounts can only be accessed by entering the password. This cannot be done when you're using OTFE, so you need to choose.
