Just got a brand new iPad. Is there a way natively or via another app to password protect the Mail application? I'd love to be able to let others use the iPad for internet browsing or games, but with Mail if you click it you can get right into all my email accounts with all my data. Would love to be able to have extra security on top of the Mail program to even get it to open up.
Many thanks in advance for the help.
The lock screen password and restrictions password can be different.

I stand corrected, thanks.
Already did :-)
Can you name a 3rd party app that is based on user accounts that doesn't have log on/ log off ability?
I just wish Apple would introduce the option of being able to password protect Mail, and I really just don't understand why they don't.
Can you pasword protect the mail app on your computer?
Put a password on your computer/iOS device.
Done that already James, as have many others, but it doesn't seem to be making a difference.
Hear, hear rjo98, and here's to hoping!!
Cheers Quilps2! Hope this thread helps, that's my only hope at this point.
I agree rjo98, and Apple are a pretty great company overall, so who knows? Hope is the last thing to die 🙂
Thank you for contributing previously unheard arguments in favor of passwording Mail.
This is the best way to protect the e-mails from prying eyes.

Sure... as long as your mail is a webmail. Doesn't work (I guess) with corporate ones.
My personal view: Add a mail password and everyone will be happy. Just like former's CEO Steve Jobs would say, "pretty simple" 🙂.
