Is there a way to setup Password in Mail

I've spent about 2 hours reading various posts on this question and I believe the answer is "No", but I will still ask.
My wife and I have shared an email account in Mac Mail for a number of years.  Our internet provider is COMCAST.  Recently, I set up her own email account in Mac Mail.  However she would like it to be private without me or anyone else being able to access it.  Since we don't have a login to access the MacBook Pro we share, we obviously can access each other's files easily. So, Is there a way to password protect her email account in Mac Mail so that to open it, she has to enter a password? 
I've tried to set up seperate Mac Mail windows...no luck
I've tried to alter the account under System Preferences...no luck
We are running OS X Mavericks...and 3rd party software (ie Thunderbird, etc) is not preferred because of her familiarity with Mac Mail and the need for her continued access to our shared account. 
Any help would be appreciated....AND PLEASE NO LINKS TO MACFORT

My advice would be to create a new user account for your wife.
OS X is a multi-user OS. It is designed such that each user has their own workspace. Combining two people into the same workspace does not work well, as you have seen. None of Apple's software is designed to work such that you have multiple users accessing different data from within the same user account.

  • Is there a way to setup password protection upon connecting phone to computer/itunes in the case of being stolen?

    Was wondering if there is an application that would prompt you to enter your apple ID & password onced connected to a computer.  My concern is that if my phone is lost or stolen, although my lock screen is on, a person may still be able to connect it to a computer and sync contacts, apps, music, email, etc... via iTunes.

    No.
    The Passcode Lock prevents the iPhone from being synced with iTunes on another computer, backing up the iPhone on another computer, importing anything from the iPhone, or accessing anything on the iPhone directly.
    This doesn't prevent the iPhone from being restored with iTunes as a new iPhone via placing the iPhone into recovery mode, but access to anything on the iPhone before that time is prevented.

  • Is there any way to setup a email account for sending only

    is there any way to setup a email account for sending only?  i have a pop account that i fwd to my google acct, so all my mail is mapi thru google/exchange. i do need this account as a send email address so currently i have entered a wrong password so i do not duplicate my inbox.  its annoying as i get the bad reteival popup continuessly.  Many email products, like outlook allow you to decide which accounts to download.  it should be a simple fix from Apple, but dont think there is any one to talk too about this.  other option is to use the gmail app or chrome, but like apple's email better for iphone  Any ideas??

    Apple remote not working, is there a way to setup Apple TV without the remote

    Welcome to the Apple Community Sylvia.
    There is no way to set up home sharing on the Apple TV without the original remote from Apple, you will need to purchase a new remote from the Apple Store.

    That is what Activation Lock of iOS 7 does
    In addition, it renders the iPhone totally useless to anyone who doesn't know your Apple ID and password.

  • HT201269 Just updated my iPhone to latest IOS but unable to match security code entered during update.  Phone now locked.  Is there some way to recover password?Is there

    Just updated my iPhone 4 to latest IOS but unable to match password security nbr. Phonoe now locked.
    Is there a way to recover password?

    Hi, thanks for the suggestion. I have tried as you suggested, and when opening the "purchased" apps some have the icloud logo next to them, but I only have "OPEN" against "Find My iPhone". When opening it up, it goes through the same routine; needs to be updated before proceeding, and wouldn't update because I don't have IOS8.
    Anything else I could try, or am I doomed!
    All of your help is much appreciated, thanks

  • HT201303 Is there a way to setup a rescue email after you have created an Apple account?

    Is there a way to setup a rescue email after you have created your Apple account?  I did not setup the security questions or the optional rescue email.  Now I am stuck. I presume I cannot receive the reset email to set security question answers because I do not have a rescue email.

    Yep... pretty much SoL until Apple's Snafu is over...

  • I want to use Mac Mail for my work email address, which containts multiple outbound options (i.e. hr@, me@ etc). Is there a way to set up Mac Mail to have an account with multiple outbound addresses rather than adding in multiple accounts?

    This sounds like the age old problem with keychain & Safari. I don't know of a way to solve it without using something like 1Password.
    The iOS app has it's own built in browser, so it has more control over what gets autofilled. Safari on OS X has an 1Password extension that handles account selection & autofill etc.
    Keychain is great in principle, but it quickly falls down when you need tight integration with many ID's & different use cases (work, home etc).
    I'd suggest you submit feedback to Apple about your thoughts. I did so years ago about this issue & this is how far we have come (back to the point where me.com synced passwords) :^)
    http://apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
    Other tools like lastpass or keypassx may also help if you want to truly segregate password storage, but that doesn't fix autofill, the way around that issue is to dedicate one browser for work.

  • Is there a way to ONLY restore your mail toolbar settings from a previous version?

    Is there a way to ONLY restore your mail toolbar settings from a previous version? I did a clean install and I love it except  I lost my mac mail toolbar setup and my muscle memory is all out of whack now. Is there a way to mine the old preference files I have on backup for this data?
    Thanks!

    Awesome thanks! I just replaced the new preference file with this one from my old Time Machine backup and everything is back to how it was before.

  • Is there a way to send an e-mail to everyone in my address book WITHOUT typing/selecting each address in individually?

    My old e-mail address is going to be discontinued and I need to notify everyone in my Mozilla Thunderbird address book. Is there a way to send an e-mail to everyone in my address book WITHOUT typing/selecting each address in individually?

    Bonjour zmerill
    Yes it is possible and simple to do.
    - In the compose window of TB, display the address books on the left
    - select the adress book you want
    - select normally the first contact (left click)
    - while pressing a shift key, select the last contact (--> all selected)
    - just under the last contact, use the button you want.
    In an address book it is also possible to create a mailing list.

    Is there a way to create a PDF from outlook e-mail that does not embed the attachment? better, is there a way to convert the e-mail with attachement (not embeded) as pdf pages?
    - Problem: I have 1400 e-mails with attachments that need to be converted into pdf and the attachments cannot be embeded.
    System: PC Windows 7 using Acrobat X Prof. - Thank you!

    Hi ,
    There is an option of embedding index for faster search while converting email to a PDF .
    However I am not sure that will serve your purpose or not .
    I would recommend you to get in touch with Microsoft support as well .
    Meanwhile I'll work on it and get back to you in case I get a desired solution .

  • Is there a way to import my yahoo mail address book?

    Is there a way to import my yahoo mail address book?

    AddressBook shouldn't have any problem with the vCard format - which Yahoo can export to... In fact, I've done this before.
    On the Yahoo AddressBook page, click the link for 'Import/Export'
    On the next page, in the export section, choose 'vCard single file'
    Then in AddressBook, you can simply drag the vCard to the window or go to File>Import>vCards...

  • Is there a way to block unwanted e-mails and spam on your mobile devices?

    Is there a way to block unwanted e-mails and spam on your mobile devices?

    This is generally handled by your e-mail provider, not your e-mail reader.
    For example, I use Gmail and it filters spam before it ever gets to my inbox. If something does get through, I can move it to the spam folder on my iPhone to report it as spam.
