The way I usually prevent others from reading my mail is to set the
permissions correctly for the directory containing my folder
collections.

On un*x systems: chmod 0700 $HOME/mail (assuming the default)

On some windows systems via explorer -> permissions, i guess

Well, hth, norbert.

Ummm... no }:-> man bash, check for umask.

Windows or explorer and system are contradictions in terms, Norbert.
