With Snow Leopard, or earlier OS versions, it was possible to set up mail so that you had to enter a password when you opened mail for each account. That was very useful, particularly in a shared environment where mail needs to be private.
With Lion once you have used Mail and entered a password for an account, it saves it in preferences. According to Mail Help you simply open preferences, and blank the password but it just reappears the next time you open it.
Have tried deleting the Mail Keychains, and Passwords in the Account section of Systems preferences but to no avail.
There are a large number of references to this in other Internet forums but so far no solution short of using a different mail client. Does anyone know of a way of getting back to the previous password protection method ??
