Can I password protect an email I send?

I would like to send emails with attachments that can only be viewed by the receiver once they enter an agreed upon password. The password can be the same or different each time.

You cannot password protect an email message, but you can encrypt messages to the recipients key.

Alternatively you can possibly password protect a document and send it as an attachment, but protection may be weak.

  • Can I password protect my email accounts on my iPhone?

    I would like to know if there is a way to password protect my email accounts so if someone is using my phone for games etc they cant look at my emails?

    The ability to password protect email accounts in the Mail app isn't currently possible (apart from going into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and removing/adding the password) as the iPad is essentially a single user device. Using a browser is an alternative (and if your family have accounts with different providers you add bookmark shortcuts to your home screen), and you could also try providing feedback to Apple http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

         You could go to Settings>General>Passcode Lock and set a password to secure all your      personal data.

  • Can't password protect email program with Lion

    Since upgrading to Lion I cannot seem to password protect my email. I have several accounts that show in the email app. Is there a way to have a single password that will open the email program on my iMac. Many thanks in advance.

    Password-protecting your Mac Mail app would not prevent access to your mailboxes,your email is stored in files under your home folder.
    See How to password protect Mac Mail for more details.

    How can i password protect my ipad2 email

    The pass code is no alternative, because it's disturbing the easy handling of the iPad.
    All unsatisfied users should organize protests against Apple. Every missing Dollar makes the company more thinking about their customers. I'm sure that I would change the platform, if there is someone taking care about the wishes of their customers.

  • Password protecting separate email accounts on one ipad

    Is it possible to password protect separate email accounts on the same ipad?

    Nothing that I know of will disallow deleting apps. I looked at the Restrictions Settings and nothing is there about prevent deletion of items. You can also enable a Passcode that requires you to enter a four digit code to unlock and use your iPad. The downside is that you have to enter the passcode when you want to use your iPad.

  • Can you password protect pages folders

    When you create a folder in pages, can you password protect the folder, or it only that documents can have a password?

    Only the file can be password protected from within Pages. If you don't want the file to open on your Mac without the password, then do not check, “Remember this password in my keychain,” in the password dialog. Record your document password where you can retrieve it — in case your forget, or if using keychain, in case it becomes damaged.
    You can password protect (and encrypt) a folder that contains Pages documents, whether they are password protected or not.
    In Finder, press shift+command+U to launch the Utilities Window.
    Launch Disk Utility
    File > New > Disk Image from Folder…
    From the Select Folder to Image dialog, select the folder and click Image
    From the New Image from Folder dialog
    Image Format
    Compressed - folder will be read-only with no ability to add documents later
    Read/write - intuitive
    Encryption: 256-bit AES Encryption
    Save
    In the new password dialog, set your password
    You should strive for password complexity that shows strength as green
    Record your password where you can retrieve it.
    Again, the caveat about keychain as mentioned above
    A new disk image will appear with the name you gave it, and a .dmg extension
    Double-click for the password challenge
    The disk image will mount on your desktop just like an installer. Double-click to open.If you chose Image format as read/write, you can drag additional Pages documents into this open folder
    Right-click on the mounted image and choose Eject to close it
    You can edit Pages documents in-place in the mounted folder, but you will get a warning about space in the image container. If you want to increase the disk image size, open it in Disk Utility. It willl appear below the line in the left panel. Select the .dmg there, and from the Images menu, choose Resize…, and adjust accordingly.

    Hey guys, how can i password protect my files in external hard drive? I want to access those files both from mac and windows PC!

    If you want a cross-platform solution that doesn't require the use of third-party software, use an external drive with hardware encryption. The device will have either a physical key or a numeric keypad. I don't have a specific recommendation.

  • Can you password protect an pdf Portfolio? Not a single pdf, but a pdf Portfolio.

    I know how to password protect individual PDF's. My quesiton is can one password protect an entire pdf Portfolio after assembling the Portfolio.

    I'm using Acrobat Pro 11.0.6, if it helps. I was able to find it at File > Portfolio Properties > Security > Security Method.
    This is what I was looking for, Dave. It prompts the user for the password when they try to open the portfolio.

  • Can I password protect a zip file?

    Is it possible to encrypt or place a password on a zip file created in the Finder?

    not from finder. you can do it from terminal if you wish or use some 3rd part archiving tool like Stuffit . I think it can make password protected zip files. but zip passwords can be cracked. a better option is to use an encrypted disk image instead of a zip file. you can make one with disk utility.

    To each his own. I own Outlook, but I avoid using it like the plague. The only Mac mail software I have liked better than Apple's Mail was Qualcomm's Eudora, which is no longer updated or even available, won't run without Rosetta, and unfortunately never quite got the hang of IMAP.
    Check out this post regarding this user's continuing use of Eudora on his Lion MacBook:
    Shield Eudora from Lion's Claws
    A thousand thanks and kudos to Michael for this fabulously excellent thread!
    Eudora's now happy in her new Snow Leopard VM home on my Lion ModBook!
    Appears essential to keep resource-forked data off Lion disk:
    First attempt with Eudora on SL VM was sharing data on Lion disk. Error messages on open like "can't find Table of Contents" suggest Lion ate resource forks crucial to Eudora.
    Found success by transferring data from SL Mac to thumb drive, then mounted drive in SL VM so Lion couldn't touch.
    While Michael warns against storing data in VM, appears there's no choice with Eudora. At least She's enthroned on a mirrored RAID.
    There is Nothing like Eudora! (to tune of "There is Nothing Like a Dame" from South Pacific -- Oops! my gray hair is showing!)
    (It's amazing Parallels can force Lion to store taboo resource forks. Thank God for code warriors!)
