I have multiple accounts on a single Thunderbird/computer used by various people.

Only one is a shared e-mail used by everyone, so it remains open without a password prompt.

The other e-mail accounts require a password entry in order to access/update new mail - however, one can still view old mail in that account's inbox. Is there a way to restrict viewing of any messages of an account before the password in entered?

Thank you!

You cannot do this is Thunderbird any more than you can do it in Microsoft word. That is why Windows has user accounts. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/configuration/set-up-shared-or-guest-pc
