Can you lock iPhone Mailbox?

Asking for a friend - a lawyer whose email can be confidential - as well as for myself. Is there any way to lock or password-protect iPhone's Mailbox, so that you have to enter a password before the app will open?
I know if your phone is snatched from your hand you can hastily run to the nearest internet-enabled computer and wipe the whole thing, but meanwhile, I'd like my mail program to be protected by default. (Not that urgent in my case, protecting emails passing on the latest adorable kitten videos, but very much so for people who use email more professionally.)

Then people should be aware of their surroundings, and not be talking on their phone while walking and being distracted.  That's an individual issue, not a device issue.
Tell me, even if there was a passcode required to open up the Mail app, what happens when this person is walking along, using the Mail app (meaning they've already unlocked it with the passcode), and a ride-by-thief snatches the phone out of their hand?  Now that sensitive information is open and unlocked for the thief to access.
Or perhaps you want a feature that requires a passcode to be entered every 30 seconds to confirm the legitimate identity of the person holding the device?
Your lawyer friend, if he is so concerned about this confidential data, should not be walking around, ignorant of his surroundings, accessing that confidential data in public.

    Hi,
    Acrobat xi - RE: Add sound icon- skin displayed is a 'blank white box' until it is clicked to activate it- can you lock skin to display before its activated so that in a print run the skin shows up (ie the controls-or any kind of greyed out rectangle, like video controls before 1st activation) and not the blank white box- if no, I guess I have to activate all sound icons before doing a print run?thanks)).

    Many of your points are totally legitimate.
    This one, however, is not:
    …To put it another way, the design of the site seems to be geared much more towards its regular users than those the site is supposedly trying to "help"…
    The design and management of the forums for more than five years have driven literally dozens of the most valuable contributors and "regulars" away from the forums—permanently.
    The only conclusion a prudent, reasonable person can draw from this state of affairs is that Adobe consciously and deliberately want to kill these forums by attrition—without a the PR hit they would otherwise take if they suddenly just shut them down.

  • Can you lock touch screen when watching videos!??

    Can you lock the screen so it doesn't become a touch screen when watching videos!??
    Just got new ipod (7th gen) and this driving me crazy that I think I'm going to continue to use my older one unless there is a solution out there. I watch tv shows while commuting and while walking here or there I have to 'palm' the ipod or walk with it at my side, and the problem is that since the touch screen is sooooo sensitive I keep fwding/rewinding/swiping the screen to something else, and then to get back to that part in the video is a pain because unlike the older ipod you can just fwd a few secs, this one jumps minutes because it's so sensitive. PLEASE tell me there's a way to lock it from accidently touching it!

    No - there is no such switch on the iPad - the switches control volume, muting, screen rotation, and the home button itself.
    You could place it behind a screen of some sort so touching the outer screen won't affect the iPad screen - I've seen ads for 'presentation kiosk' type devices for the iPad that allow this, although I'm not sure how practical they would be in the backseat of a car.

  • Can you lock a pdf file?

    Hi all! I have a client who has created a pdf booklet. It's a form that people will be filling out. She wants to distribute it on a CD. So... people will have to be able to copy it to their computer to open and fill it in. However, she then wants them to NOT be able to copy the pdf (she doesn't want it duplicated so that others can use it). Is this even possible? Can you lock a pdf like that? Thanks!
    Julie

    >What kind of restrictions?
    Check File>Properties>Security for the different options.
    Keep in mind that security on a PDF file is easy to get around.

  • On the iPhone, if you move an e-mail from the In box to Junk, will iPhone automatically place future e-mails from the same sender into Junk? In other words, can you teach iPhone to recognize Junk as you do on a Mac?

    On the iPhone, if you move an e-mail from the In box to Junk, will iPhone automatically place future e-mails from the same sender into Junk? In other words, can you teach iPhone to filter out Junk as you do on a Mac?

    I don't think so, you would need to set that on your browser when you log into your email account.

  • Can you Sync iPhone 5 with Outlook 2013

    Can you sync iPhone 5 with Outlook 2013? Everything mail, contacts and calender.

    Hey Mark
    I'm Michael and I work for connex.io.
    We were also constantly having problems with our address books, so we decided to build our own solution. connex.io is a service that syncs two-ways between all of your devices and services. It also de-duplicates, cleans completes and automatically updates your address books on all of those devices. So whenever you make a change on any of them, it automatically gets changed everywhere. So you only have to connect your address books once, and you will have your contacts always with you. No need to connect your device to your computer or sync manually.
    If you want to check it out: www.connex.io or you can send me an e-mail if you would like some more info: [email protected]
    I hope this helps you out.

  • Can you use Iphone hotspot to wirelessly connect to apple TV

    Can you use Iphone hotspot to wirelessly connect to apple TV.  ie I have no router but am interested in playing music from phone to apple TV.

    Yes in theory, though do check your phone contract small print and keep an eye on your data usage - in theory local data sent across the LAN created by the hotspot should not use 3G data but some carriers seem to treat it as internet data usage.

    Can you make iPhone ringtones (M4R) in Logic Express without GarageBand 08?
    If so how?
    Thanks,
    Ed

    Not exactly ... while you can make a ringtone with any application that you would like, Soundtrack Pro 2 and Logic do not have a conversion to the ringtone format. Mv4R or something like that. GarageBand does.
    I answered my own question I guess
    Thanks anyway,
