Hi m1nxxx,

That's called basic security practices to protect your data and your password¹:
lock your sesion when leaving and don't share your account password.

People which can physically access the computer and can manage a Claws Mail
instance to cancel the password dialog, as you suggest, already has access to
everything in your account including your messages on the file system and, even
worse, your PGP private and public keys.

Yet another password to lock the GUI won't prevent them to read the messages.
