How do I disable someone from reading my emails?

I have thunderbird installed on a PC which is used by multiple users. I have set up the master password for thunderbird, yet one can read the emails from my account without inputting the master password.

In a Windows OS .... Control Panel > User Accounts
Create a User Account for yourself and set it up as Administrator. Create a password for yourself.
Create other User Accounts for other people or create a 'Guest' user account which anyone can use, without any password.
Make sure to 'create a password reset disk'. This option is available in Control Panel > User Accounts. This is not obligatory, but I would advise you to create one just in case you forget the password.
Your Thunderbird Profile folder containing all your emails etc will be stored within the User Account. Only access to the User Account will allow access to reading the emails.

    How do I disable itunes on my iphone 4s?
    iTunes app on the iPhone is for purchasing music.
    The fact the iPhone starts playing when connected to your car stereo is a function of your car bluetooth system.
    Consult your car dealer/bluetooth system manual.
    I have attempted to delete all music from the device (so there would be nothing to play), but 1 song remains in the iphone memory and I have been unable to delete that song.
    Connect the iPhone to computer and select it in iTunes.
    Click the Music tab and uncheck Sync music.
    Then click Apply at lower right of iTunes.

    Someone I don't know is using my email address as their Apple ID to sign and purchase apps ect and I keep getting notifications in my emails. How do I stop them from using my email address????????

    If a person is using your email address, you should change your email password and make sure there aren't any forwards to some strange email address.
    An example if you were using gmail, under account settings, a forward can be set up to send messages to another email address.
    If your email address is say, you own domain, such as somename@somename dot com, make sure the forwards are forwards you set up.
    If your email account was hacked and the bad guy has access, you need to cut him off, first by changing the password and second cut off any message forwarding to the bad guy if he set it up.  Just changing the password would keep a bad guy out, but if the bad guy set up a forward, he will still get your email.
    A confirmation from Apple would have come to your email address in order to confirm that Apple ID.  If you are getting the other person's purchase notifications, you would have gotten a confirmation of that account from Apple.

  • How can i disable imessage from automatically starting up when i turn on macbook air?

    how can i disable imessage from automatically starting up when i turn on macbook air? i dont know my imessages to pop up on my laptop when it turns on. But i dont want to disable imessage totally on my macbook.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    First of all, check that Messages is closed when you turn off your MacBook. This is so important because, by default, OS X will reopen all opened apps the next time you start your Mac.
    Apart from that, when you go to  > Shut Down, or  > Restart, in the window you see to restart or turn off your MacBook, unmark "Reopen windows when logging back in". This will avoid that your Mac opens all opened apps the next time you start the MacBook, so Messages won't start automatically at startup

    how do i forward photos from album to email?

    Now try this.  Try to import photos from your camera's SD Card by dragging and dropping the photos from the SD Card to an album of choice.   You can't.
    Actually you can if you drag the photos onto the albums' icon in the sidebar pane at the left or into the albums open window at the right.  This
    gets you this:
    However, this test was for photos in a folder on the Desktop.  I didn't have a memory card to test so you may have to move the pictures from the card to a folder on the Desktop and import from there.

    How do I stop iCloud from automatically opening email attachments in Firefox?

    Hi
    This may have something to do with the "Automatically retrieve invitations from Mail" option being enabled? Click on the iCal Menu > Preferences > Advanced. It may also be the Alarms setting? This is for 10.6 iCal so it may be in a different place for 10.5?

  • When I try to send file from Reader as email it is attached without .pdf extension

    Hello,
    When I try to send file from Reader as email it is attached without .pdf extension.
    What could be a cause of this problem?
    TIA.

    Hello I got more info about this strange scenario. This happens when our user want to send a pdf file embedded on www page. Web application uses this control to display pdf files: Winnovative PDF Viewer Controls for ASP.NET and Windows Forms
    It is strange that when I try on my computer I will get file name with pdf extension, but people in different location get it without .pdf extension. I have no idea what happened, and now I am not sure if it is problem with Reader.
    User reports that he uses Adobe Reader version 11.0.0

  • How can I disable iMessages from archiving messages and attachments?

    I noticed while browsing ~/Library\Messages/ that iMessages has been archiving my messages (Archive folder) and saving attachments (in a separate Attachment folder). Under the settings for iMessages on OS X 10.8.2 Mountain Lion, I don't see any options to disable this. The only thing close to that is already unchecked: Save history when conversations are closed.
    Any ideas why iMessages is saving all this information? How do I disable it? My concern is that it's going to keep accumulating data overtime. I don't want to keep having to go back in there and delete those two folders constantly.

    Hi,
    This somewhat date back to the way iChat's Saved Chats were once Stored.
    At iChat 5 (in Snow Leopard) you could choose to see the last chat - (when opening an new chat with a person you had chatted with before) or parts of the Last Chat in terms of the Last so many IMs.
    Example Pic of iChat 5's Prefs
    Since then the management choices of the Save Chats has changed in both iChat 6 and Messages.
    Messages stores Chats two ways if they are iMessages.
    You can elect to Save them in Messages > Preferences > Messages.
    It also store the chat.db and other databases items which includes the Attachment items
    The chat.db is the bit that fill in the "history" if you iMessage the same person even if you are not saving the Chat in a formal sense in the App's Preferences.
    This is irrespective if your delete the Conversation from the Messages main window.
    How big these Databases get obviously depends on your iMessages usage.
    Striker's link seems to be about a similar issue on an iPhone (I presume it transfers to other iOS devices) but I am not sure that it is relevant in this situation.
    Edit.
    I should have been clear that you cannot change the database behaviour.
