Is there a way to lock up Mail so that anyone who launches it can't read my emails?

I tried going into Accounts and then deleting the password there but old emails are still visible.  I tried using System Preferences to uncheck my Mail account but anyone who knows Macs can just go back in there and recheck it.
Is there a "lock" type way to prevent people from being able to open and read my mails?  I really would prefer not to Delete my accounts. I would just like to be able to set some password lock on it the way you can lock up files in Word.
Help.

Mail is associated with an account.  So simply create an account that is used only by the person who has access to the mail.  Other accounts cannot access it.
You mention "lock up files in Word."  This has nothing to do with Mail.  But if you mean Microsoft Word, although completely off topic, yes, you can password protect documents there.

  • Is there a way to create a PDF form that ANYONE can fill out and SAVE with their content?

    Is there a way to create a PDF form that ANYONE can fill out and SAVE with their content? By anyone, I mean someone who can download and use the free Adobe Reader, on either a Mac or PC. I have Acrobat Pro, and would like to be able to create forms that can not only be filled out and printed, but saved and emailed, which is not an option with the forms I have created to date. They can be filled out, but not saved, with Adobe Reader.
    TIA,
    Nancy

    To do what Dave indicated you need to do, it depends on what version of Acrobat you have:
    Acrobat 8: Advanced > Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader
    Acrobat 9: Advanced > Extend Features in Adobe Reader
    Acrobat 10: File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features
    Acrobat 11: File > Save as Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools (includes form fill-in & save)
    I wonder what it will be next time?

  • Is there a way to lock a file so that users can NOT open while Testing?

    Hello World:
    I'm sure there is a way but I can not think of a good solution right now.
    I'm writing to a file.csv every 2 seconds for about 10 hours or more.
    If a user opens the file to view, then my program in Labview will crash
    because is being used.
    How would you solve this problem?
    thank you very much...for your help...

    Look up the function to Get and Set File permissions.  This will allow you to lock the file when you start and unlock it when your finished.  =o)
    Here's the sample from the help file:
    The Set Permissions function includes a permissions input that allows you to control access to files and directories that you create. To define the permissions you want to set, you can wire the permissions output of the Get Permissions function to the permissions input of the Set Permissions function, or you can wire a constant or a control.
    The 9 bits that the permissions parameter uses are divided into three sets: user, group, and others. Each set is divided into three permission categories: read, write, and execute. Read determines if members of a set can read a file or directory. Write determines if members of a set can write data to a file or directory. Execute determines if members of a set can execute the file. A 1 in the bit grants permission.
    For example, the following illustration shows how to grant a user permission to read from, write to, and execute a file, and deny permission from the other two sets.
    Octal format shortens each three-bit group within the parameter to a single octal value. (Windows) For example, to make a file read-only, enter the octal value 200, which corresponds to the binary representation 10000000. (Linux) To grant users read, write, and execute permissions, enter the octal value 700, which corresponds to the binary value 111000000.

  • Is there a way of locking app folders in iphone?

    I have found a lot of app fro locking pictures and files, contacts, etc, Is there a way of locking down a folder that contains apps? Say i don't want someone opening my facebook app or other apps I have. Any help is appreciated.

    Unless the app has some sort of passcode written into it, no, you can't lock it. You can't lock folders.
    If you don't want someone using your Facebook app, you can log out of it.

  • I want to be able to see the history when my kids use the computer. Is there a way to lock private browsing from being used?

    I want to be able to see the history when my kids use the computer. Is there a way to lock private browsing so that my kids can not have this option?

    There is no way to reliably disable private browsing or keep a user from deleting history. Use a program such as netnanny to keep track of history and sites visited.

  • Is there a way to lock the folder arrangement in Apple Mail?

    My Mother-In-Law has Retinitis and is not able to see well. Every now and then she'll accidentally drag a folder into another in the Folder List.
    Is there any way to lock the arrangement of the folders so she can't drop a folder into another, or into the trash?
    I'm unable to find anything in the settings or menus.

    Selecting a different email will change what is displayed. Tapping the Home button will take you back to the Home screens. Tapping the power button on the top of the iPad will put it to sleep. Those are pretty much your options.

    Ok Apple users...Is there a way to delete e-mails on my Mac and not have to delete the same e-mails on my iPhone, and iPad...and vise-versa. I have the Cloud, and thought that everything would sync all of the time. If you know of a setting I need to adjust, please let me know.

    Are you referring to @mac.com, @me.com or @icloud.com emails? Or some other email providers emails?
    If the former, it should do that automatically. If the latter, no. iCloud does not (nor is it supposed to) sync non-Apple provided emails.

  • Is there a way to lock the phone's touch screen during a phone call?

    I just purhased my iPhone and I noticed that during a phone call I may accidentally tap Mute or Speakerphone with my cheak, depending on which hand I hold the phone in. Also when I hand the phone over to someone they may accidentally tap a button, and in the worst scenerios they will accidentally end the call.
    Is there a way to lock the screen or something to prevent any of the above from occuring?

    Their currently isent a way to disable the buttons but what you can do is click the home button during a call after pressing loud speaker and that will separate you from the call options and take you to the home screen and on the top it will have say call active and you can click that to renter the call note the call will still be active but when you hold it next to your face the screen should temporally go dark. Steve jobs was the one who came up with when the top sensor is active the screen will go dark and disable on screen button pressing when it is press against your face

    Not in Acrobat unless your image is already in the PDF format.
    This is a feature of forms created with LiveCycle Designer.

  • Is there a way of using a mail merge function while on the iphone or ipad, i wish to email a "Word style, ot TXT" document to 250 of my contacts

    Is there a way of using a mail merge function while on the iphone or ipad, i wish to email a "Word style, ot TXT" document to 250 of my contacts, I have tried downloading my contacts to my PC's outlook but only 1 contact comes across at a time despite the fact that Icloud says downloading namedperson + 249 other contacts to a CSV file

    Hi everyone!
    Looking also for an app that allows me to merge email and send them out to each recipient individually. Apparently that's not possible yet. Here's what the guys at RedbitsApps told me about Group Email capabilities: 
    "The current version of the app relies on the device operating system to send the emails. For this reason, sending individual email instead of a single email to multiple recipients is not possible. Apple doesn't allow apps to send single emails to many recipients easily. We may use a custom sending software in a future version."
    Let's keep looking guys... 

  • Is there a way of locking a word document in ios mountain lion so that it cant be printed or changed?

    Is there a way of locking a word document in mountain lion so it cant be printed or changed?

    You can print because it's your document. Others shouldn't be able to. But then it's easy enough to unlock them altogether.
    Easiest is to get encryption software and just encrypt the document. Or create a small encrypted disc image with Disk Utility and store the document in the disc image.

  • Is there a way to disable push mail from Yahoo? It's draining my battery

    I'm on the prepaid plan and every 10-15 minutes my iphone turns on with a "The last transaction cost $0.00" message. I don't mind the message (although it is a bit annoying) but my problem is that this turns the LCD on for about 2 minutes at a time.
    I charged my battery to 100% last night, haven't used it at all today and after just turning it on a few minutes ago I had the "Your battery life is at 10%" message followed by a 5% remaining message a few minutes later.
    I've heard that it's the yahoo push mail service thats causing the phone to give the message (since it connects to the internet). My Yahoo account is my main one and I'd hate to have to login to yahoo's site each time to check it (the email functionality was a big selling point for me with the iphone). ATT/Apple don't seem to want to disable this message/"Feature", so I'm guessing I would need to step in and do something on my end.
    Is there any way to disable yahoo mail from "pushing" messages to my phone? I can hit the Check Mail button if I have to.

    Hi Everyone,
    To give an update on the situation: I disabled the Yahoo account and it seems to make a VERY NOTICEABLE difference in battery life - prior to this my battery would drain quite rapidly but since disabling it it's only lost about 15-20% over the past 24 hours (and thats with using the video/music/internet functions for about an hour and a half).. Prior to this it would have been close to drained under the same circumstances.
    Also, to confirm, the "Your last transaction cost 0.00" messages only appear when accessing the internet manually now. before they appeared every 10-15 minutes with no interaction from myself at all (while it was sitting idle, while watching videos, while charging, while in my pocket, etc..)
    I do have it set to only check Manually but Yahoo would seem to check on it's own even though this setting is checked (I'm guessing it has to do with the Push setting). Aside from draining the battery, it was quite annoying having 30 or so "Your transaction cost $0.00" messages to click through whenever I turned on the phone.
    I did have the screen set to shut off after 1 min, but the 'your transaction cost..' messages would first wake the iphone up, the screen would stay bright for about 30 seconds, dim for about 30 seconds, then turn on bright again for 1 minute until it shut off. I'm guessing the screen (being on for about 10-15 minutes per hour due to this) and the fact that yahoo accesses the internet on such a frequent basis are what cut the battery life down.
    I really wish I could make Yahoo work more like Gmail and have it manually search for new mail

  • Is there a way to lock my MAC so it can't be opened without a special password?

    Is there a way to lock my MAC so it can't be opened without a special password?

    Choose the apple menu, apple in the upper left corner, then System Preferences > Users and Groups icon, for the admin account that you should be in, add a password if there is none, then under the left panel, click the + to add accounts.  Choose Standard and enter a user name for yourself, different from the admin name, type a password in the password box.  Click create user.
    Add as many user accounts as you want, each with a separate password.

    None that I'm aware of but with the iPhone SDK - software developers kit being released at the end of next month, a 3rd party software developer may provide an avenue for this function and you can leave Apple feedback about this here.
