Is there a way to do this?

No. A password is required to log in to your account, unless you've changed that. Don't let anyone else use the computer while you're logged in. Enable the Guest account for guests, and create accounts for other regular users, if any. Enable Fast User Switching to switch between accounts without having to log out.

Apple release new updates from time to time for all OS X… Some times the Mail.app give an Error Message… here is the steps for how to Fix this Error for all versions of Mac OS X…

1. before you update to the new Update of OS X you already had "10.5.__ - 10.6.__ - 10.7.__ - 10.8.__" - Copy the Mail.app from "sparseimage" disk you great it before from where you save it to "/Applications" Folder.

2. Now update.

3. after you update and restart go and Open Mail.app from "/Applications/Mail.app" the app will open Normally.

4. Now copy the Mail.app to the "sparseimage" Disk and Replace the old Mail with the new.

5. Delete the Mail.app from "/Applications" Folder.

6. open the app and it will work Fine.

DONE

Note: if you update before you do this Steps.. Don't worry you can do the same steps and update the System again.. and the Mail.app will work Normally.

Best not follow these steps. It will work until the next Mail update. But it makes no sense to want to protect mail this way and leave other areas open....So you go and password protect the Mail app. Ok so I can't open Mail but I could easily go to your Mail folder in your Library folder and copy all you mboxs and emails to a USB stick for later viewing. You would do best to protect your account using a combination of a firmware passowrd and login password. Keep it simple
