Somehow I have accidentally set Thunderbird to open without a password. It's wonderful! It was a royal pita! Now in case it changes back, or if a zypper dup changes it back, I'd like to know how to do it on purpose. I have no reason to need a password for my email. I have no secrets on it, and no porn. If someone should get in and read it, so what? And there's nobody here to read it but me anyway.
You are wrong. Your email can bu used to steal your identity and then the money in your bank or any other business with an internet presence. Or do harm to others, in your name.
My identity is listed on the outgoing mail every time. My bank information is not included in any mail, or even anywhere on my computer. I actually go to the bank when I need to deposit or cash a check, etc. And Darryl Gregorash says that the password only protects the p/w used to receive and send mail, not the contents thereof. I am not suggesting that the system logon p/w or the su - p/w should be eliminated, only the email one. --doug
