Hi, When I started using Thunderbird there was add on called "Profile Password" - which required me to enter a password when opening Thunderbird and allowed me to protect my emails from family members. It was one of the reasons I chose Thunderbird; however, it no longer works. Can someone please please please update or create it again? Many thanks in anticipation.
