Hi,

Is there a way to password protect Mail, Address Book and iCal?

I would like the programs to prompt me for a password upon opening them (something like M$ Outlook's password to open outlook).

I am not talking about my password to retrieve new email, I want a password that prevents from accessing the mail (contacts, and calendars) that are already on the mac.

I don't consider the MAC OS login password to be sufficient as it can easily be reset.

I am thinking filevault would probably work, but I think that is overkill (to encrypt the entire home directory). This actually brings up another question. Is is possible to have filevault only encrypt certain (selected) folders?

Thanks.

Someone gave me this link.
It seems like it may work.
