I just set up Thunderbird for my school's network after following 20min of instrutions. I think Thunderbird is set to work with Kerberos (an authentication program) which may be the root of this problem. Anyway, whenever I open Thunderbird it does NOT ask me for my password. This really bothers me because I'm a security freak. I checked under saved passwords but absolutely nothing is there. What can I do to make it ask for my password everytime I open thunderbird? Someone please help me. Thanks.
Got a tip for us?

Thunderbird wont ask for a PASSWORD!

Don't try to keep people out of your eMail client; it won't make you more secure. Your mail files are still accessible.
Instead, log out of your machine (Or use Fast User Switching and choose "Login Window") when you leave it. That's the only way to get even a small measure of security.
