When I open my Thunderbird program I get the enter password box. I have always entered my master password and opened. Now if I just click the "x" to close password box or just click "cancel" it opens the program anyway.

I hit "get messages" it asks for my master password but all of my previously downloaded, sent, drafts are still visible without a password.

Isn't this very insecure?

Read this article that explains what the master password protects, and what it doesn't protect:
