I remember having the option to lock an account, was interesting when multiple people have access to the bat! so we can leave it open and unlock our account to check our emails. What happened to the option and why was it removed? itsanogo

Anyone can copy your message base files to another account and read your messages. To really protect data, best is to put the account home directory in an encrypted container (like TrueCrypt).
