Don't know about password-protected email clients, but... Since you mentioned PGP, an easy way I've used to secure my email is to use a PGPDisk and put the Eudora Mail folder on that disk. Takes one passphrase to open the disk, then use as normal. I then wrote a little applescript to open the disk, wait for the passphrase to be entered, then fire up Eudora, all on one (double)click.
