Hi all,

I'm trying to find an email client that will allow for a password
protect of the emails which are stored on the Mac that I have. ie, won't
allow any old user who comes across the machine to fire it up & look at
the inbox/outbox, etc. I realise IMAP is an option, but we want to be
able to access the email when offline too. There doesn't need to be
encryption, just something to stop the computer-barely-literate from
opening the emails.

This is for my father, so I'm looking for something not too complicated.
ie, no separate encryption with PGP or Norton Encrypt, etc. Just an
email program that wants a password when fired up.

We currently use OS 8.1, Eudora 4.2.2. I've looked at Outlook Express &
can't find Claris Emailer to see if that will do it for us.

Any suggestions? 

Thanks.

Kwan.
