Hi,

I would like to kindly ask you about a Primary Password to Mozilla Thunderbird software. I am wondering about the sense of this feature and why it works in so narrow range.

Everyone who's using Mozilla Thunderbird can easily set a Primary Password in Tools > Settings > Privacy & Security > Passowrds > check Use a Primary Password tab. There is also a short description about this feature: A Primary Password protects all your passwords, but you must enter it once per session.

I am wondering why it protect only in that way? Why this password do not protect from reading all messages for email accounts. After all, informations included in emails are the most important value I would like to protect.

As a user, I would really like to and wish to have a built-in feature which will protect all my emails in Mozilla Thunderbird, not only user settings and passwords.

regards,

You are right; there is a bug filed for this issue and the bug is periodically discussed in bugzilla, but no resolution has been decided. Yes, this needs to be fixed. Thanks for the reminder and I will share the info.

Primary passwords, which only protect access to the passwords, are fairly useless. If you want to guard access to your mail and any other data, the simplest and most established way is to have password-protected operating system user accounts, even if you're the only user of the device.
