Protect Mails via password?

[Souli]

Hey guys,
just got my Ipad this week and have a question. I'd like to protect my mails with a password somehow so the whole family can use the Ipad but not read my mails. Is that somehow possible? Or is there a specific app for such a thing?

not unless you're jailbroken

2 options but not ideal.

1. delete the password from your email account. Settings>Mail>email account
Problem with this is it won't automatically check your emails and download them.

2. check under Setting>General>Restrictions to see if there is an option to lock out the Mail app.

The easiest thing to do in my opinion that I do is simply turn off your email while you let your family/friends play with your iPad. As for in most cases unless they have one of their own they won't be able to figure out how to turn it back on. >>>settings>select your account(s)>then just switch it to off. Then turn it back on when it's back in your hands. So easy!

If your jailbroken you can do this easily. Simply download mAdvLock from cydia. You can lock any app you want with a password.

Thanks! I'm surprised I never came across this before. It'll be useful for both my 3GS and iPad.
