Thank you for the fast replay, but your answer doesn't help me. Guest user accounts were able to search into my emails. I don't want them to have this chance. Now it seems to be working after wasting two hours until I found the way to remove reading permissions to everyone in the "Users/username/Library" hidden folder. I hope this change doesn't alter other functions.
