Password on executing Pmail

Another option to to place the mailstore in a TrueCrypt volume. Loads as a new driver letter (ie: P: for Pegasus) instead of C:

This way the files can not be viewed at all unless Truecrypt volume is loaded with password.

I have mine in a 20GB TrueCrypt volume, the total Pegasus mailstore is just over 9 GB allowing for temp space when folders are updated.

Can I impose a password on a running version of Pmail?  I don't really want to do a complete reload  and set it up as multiuser.  I am the only user on this machine, but I want to protect access to my messages.

The first thing that comes to my mind is to change your username in Pegasus Mail and let that serve as the password.  If Pegasus Mail does not prompt for a user on start up remove the -I username switch from the command line.
