Yes, any number of thing could happen.  And, yes, people sometimes let their guard down.
And extra layer of "protection" at the program level is hardly ever bad.  Badly, implemented,
yes.


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.

It is just my contention that every app/program needs to take security/privacy into consideration when being developed.

If a app/program is going to implement a securityprivacy feature (which encryption is) then best practices should be followed
with them being the default.  Then, let the end user decide if they want to opt out.


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.
