it really depends on how sensitive data is and what level of security you need, but I would use a proven tool for such purposes. 'Hidden' data is usually easy to unhide, and such tools may cause various problems. Storing msg bases in an encrypted container is far more secure, and data is effectively hidden when the container is not mounted. Plus, the truecrypt tool is completely free and can even run without any installation(if you work as administrator).

To all that have replied - thanks.
Will use the solution of 'hiding' the data with Universal Shield or similar.

For years, I've used Dekart Private Disk (similar to True Crypt) as a secure volume.  All my sensitive data, including The Bat! message bases, are stored on this volume. Like "bigg one" says, if the volume isn't mounted, then nothing can access the files, including The Bat! program.

I think it's possible to define where the message base for each individual folder is stored. So you can place the message base for that folder in an encrypted container or volume(like a TrueCrypt virtual disk or encrypted partition). If the container is not mounted, mail in that folder can't be accessed. But if you're going to do this for one folder, why not for the whole account?

Note that if you don't use OTFE, account password protection does not protect emails, it only protects connection data. You can copy a message base to another installation and read everything.

Can't be done at the moment and considering TB's account oriented structure I don't think it's very likely that it will be possible in the future.

Your pseudo account is the only way and even that's only possible for those who don't use an encrypted message base.

Hi people!

Can anybody see a way of password-protecting a folder?
I know it's possible to protect an account in that way, but for many reasons that doesn't cover what I need to do.
At the moment I've worked a go-around by creating a pseudo-account and filtering (or moving) required mail into its inbox.
Would like the other option, though; but can't find it.
Anyone help?
Stephen
