. If you walk away from your system and forget to secure it and you don't trust the people on the same premises all of the following might happen:

- Anyone might install a keylogger. 

- your computer might get stolen

- someone might hack any government three letter agency and you will get the blame. 

- someone might send death threats, child porn and other nasty stuff from your Account and you will get the blame. 

*ok, I'm exaggerating*

But you get the idea: don't walk away and fail to secure your system... specially if you don't know/trust the people around you. 

I don't think that's a problem of the email client but rather your system config. 

Now that you talk about that... I'd love to know if it's possible to do pairing with Bluetooth to auto lock a Linux system when you walk away.

It should allow for pass phrase. And, there should be a "timeout" setting for how long a
vaild pass phrase has been entered for viewing messages.
