Hi all,
I have looked into this, and now I really need some help if you can:
I plan to travel for a while this year, and I need my Macbook Air to be able to do some work while gone. Problem is that I am paranoid about it getting stolen, which has happened before when travelling.
I use both Microsoft Entourage and Apple Mail for various email addresses for personal and business/banking matters.
First thing I thought was just ensure the Machine was powered-down and logged out when I have to leave it anywhere, but then thanks to 2 seconds of Google, I learned how to reset user logins etc. - so that would be futile.
If it gets stolen, my identity could easily be stolen not to mention all my business and personal matters discussed over the last 6 years or so in emails.
1. Does anyone know of a way that I can hide, and or password protect the mail clients?
2. I downloaded a Paid app called "Secret Folder" to hide some other personal files. Does anyone know if it is possible to move the actual email files to be hidden in a different location, such as that of Secret Folder, and still maintain normal functionality of the email client?
I am currently running 10.7.2 on the machine in question.
Thanks in advance!
Ben
