The description is : Determines when Mozilla Mail should ask for the master password. *0* (default): Only the first time it's needed *1*: Every time it's needed *2*: Every /n/ minutes, where /n/ is the value in *security.password_lifetime*. This means that : 1) This parameter only applies for the MASTER PASWORD. 2) The value is 0, 1 or 2. And if you want to specify a number of minutes, you also have to edit security.password_lifetime Note the "MASTER PASSWORD" thing. Have you set a master password to protect your account passwords? Then you tell it to ask for the master password "every time it's needed" (value : 1) or "every N minutes" (value : 2, then set security.password_lifetime). But you have to set a master password. And you will be prompted for the master password. Not for the account password. But that's more or less equivalent in terms of security. Gilles. </pre> </blockquote> nice one I'll try it I'm happy to set the master password ... if it can solve my problem,,,,, will let you know Regards <div class="moz-signature">-- <meta http-equiv="CONTENT-TYPE" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"> <title></title> <meta name="GENERATOR" content="OpenOffice.org 3.2 (Unix)"> <meta name="AUTHOR" content="livewire "> <meta name="CREATED" content="20100413;16400600"> <meta name="CHANGEDBY" content="Livewire "> <meta name="CHANGED" content="20110817;15290400"> <meta name="CHANGEDBY" content="livewire "> <style type="text/css">  </style> */ <meta name="CHANGEDBY" content="livewire "> Jatin Khatri RHCSA RHCE CCNA <a href="http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Jatin">www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Jatin</a> Phone (+91) 98250 20393 Save Paper, Save Environment.** (Plant at least one tree in your life and nurture it !!!) </div> </body> </html>
