	Not sure if this has been mentioned yet... But when you tell 
Thunderbird to not remember the password. It will ask for the password 
on the first send/recieve once you start it, but it will remember the 
password for that session, as long as TBird stays open.
	The OP could just close TBird when he lets someone else use it...
