I know about the built-in security, I was just asking if it was possible
to pw-protect evolution the way I described because then I wouldn't have
to lock my screen for leaving the computer for a few minutes and I
wouldn't have to log in with another account when somebody wanted to
borrow it for something...
If this was a corporate computer it wouldn't be an issue, I would never
let anyone do anything with my account on a corporate network, this is
my home computer though, and there are allways people visiting that
needs to check their mail, or print something out etc...
