Linda and I are saying that the real "master" password is when you log on to the computer.
No way. A login password in Linux does not protect access when the machine is not booted properly. Anybody booting from another system could read the mail account passwords without any effort. Or read them from a system backup media. The master password on Mozilla products encrypts the passwords. I don't know how strong that encryption is, but it is at least a deterrent for a casual looker. But I suspect it is quite safe. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
