when there are multiple users can the email files that are on the left of the screen be hidden from other users?
There are several people who might want to use Thunderbird on a work computer but I don't like how everyone's email files are open to public view. It looks like anyone can see emails without having to login to another person's account.

That's unfortunate indeed, and I don't think it is a good idea. You could go for individual profiles, but that doesn't work well for multiple users.

Use different Windows user accounts for each person, and set-up Thunderbird for each person's email account underneath the respective Windows account. It is very easy to switch between Windows user accounts, and multiple people can be logged in simultaneously.
Unfortunately we have decided as a group not to have Windows user profiles. I was looking for a way to have my colleagues avoid using Outlook which is becoming increasingly prone to hacking.
