Email client with "sign in - sign out"

[kvv]

Is there an email client available where I can safely "sign in" and "sign out"? It's because, at work and at home, I occasionally share my computer with other people. I don't want someone else to intentionally or unintentionally read my mail without my knowledge. It doesn't have to be a high feature client, I want to mainly use it as a backup for my mail, in case Gmail goes down for whatever reason.

Thanks.

You could create user accounts for the people you share with and then just log off when away from the computer?

I don't use it but just launching Thunderbird there shows a "Remember password" checkbox when you add an email account, just leave that unchecked and it should ask you to login when you open it.

Tried it. This doesn't work for some reason. :\ People can still read my mail.

Try go into the Preferences and Security tab and delete your password if it's in there remembered?

Otherwise you could separate your user accounts on Mint itself instead of all logging into one account, divide and conquer!

Personally I use Evolution mail, it is a bit heavy, but its main function is security, just remember to not check remember passwords in any email client during setup.
