Protecting sensitive information is essential in the digital age, especially when it comes to email communication. Thunderbird, a popular email client, allows users to secure their data by password protecting folders within the application.

How to Password Protect a Folder in Thunderbird

1. Open Thunderbird and navigate to the folder you want to protect.
2. Right-click on the folder and select 'Properties' from the dropdown menu.
3. In the Properties window, go to the 'Security' tab.
4. Check the box that says 'Use a Master Password'.
5. Create and confirm your master password. This password will be required to access the folder.
