Nothing should be visible until the master password is entered correctly. All the email lists are visible and if you click cancel twice on the master password prompt, or on an account password prompt, the emails are fully visible. This is for IMAP accounts. Not sure if other server types behave this way.

This is how the master password works, not a bug. The master password is only to prevent access to view any saved passwords you have in Thunderbird and not prevent viewing of your existing email. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/protect-your-thunderbird-passwords-master-password
