Just wondering if there's any kind of app out there that password protects Mail on the iPhone?
I'd welcome any ideas - even outside of using a 3rd part app - for added security for Mail (on the iPhone).
Thanks!

Why not use the iPhone's passcode feature? On 3GS and newer, it's hardware encryption.

It's really time for Apple to turn on multiple users on iOS, at least for iPads if not for iPhones and iPods as well. What if you want to let a friend or acquaintance use your iDevice but only with restricted access? You can't.

FWIW, you can turn on restricted access for that kind of situation.
However, that's way more of a pain in the ass than just having multiple users would be.

There is no urgency for Apple to create multiple users architecture for iOS devices, yet.
The damn things HAVE the perfect multiple-user strategy: It's called "give me another one; my wife is hogging the iPad. Oh, and make this one 64 GB."
Everybody wins, and Apple most of all.

Apple - Support forums didn't help

That is set by your exchange server. iOS obeys that policy (and some others). Is this a company, university, or government exchange account, or something public like gmail that we could research?

Multiple users would be great.
I let my nephew play games on my iPhone sometimes and have to sit right next to him the whole time to make sure he doesn't access anything other than the games he knows he is allowed to play.

Gmail is IMAP and doesn't include any MDM as far as I'm aware. You are correct when you say that the Exchange server is demanding it (or rather the server admin is) but it won't be gmail. Good luck persuading the sysadmin to turn that off.

Gmail has an activesync option, but it doesn't employ the device passcode policy. Here, I was using it as an example of a 'publlic' email service so the op would have an example.
