... Interesting. I use Claws-Mail rather than Thunderbird. I do not need a 'master' password in Claws-Mail, although every email account within CM needs its own login password. But that is a set once and forget operation. But from what you're saying, Carlos, I am somehow vulnerable?
I don't know anything about claws. There is already a default master password on Thunderbird, probably a blank, it is the same on millions on Thunderbirds. So, if someone gets access to my computer, e.g. via buggy software, he/she might set a master password simply because he/she can and I have a problem. If I set passwords where I can, I avoid at least that problem. BTW, Firefox also allows a master password. "Firefox can save usernames and passwords that you use to access online services, such as banking and email websites. If you share a computer with anyone, it is recommended that you use a primary password." Peter
