This is Dianne from Champlin again. My spouse and I are just starting to use iCloud for our email.. Thank you for your reply to go to "quit mail" to log out of it. Yes, I know this, and I do enter "quit" to log out. But , because it can be opened again by anyone, ie., next time someone in my family logs in on our macbook pro, I'm thinking this iCloud email account can't be made private to me? Or is there a way to do this? Thanks in advance for your reply

If it is an IMAP account and you are the administrator you can change the admin password and don't share with your family members see this article Change the login password on Mac - Apple Support

But they will stop using the Mac , but if you don't want to be done don't set up an IMAP and icloud account account .

You can delete the imap account and iCloud account from the location system preferences - internet accounts click on subtract sign to remove them , see this article Add or remove email accounts in Mail on Mac - Apple Support

And then start signing with you web mail account and iCloud account on their respective server link like www.icloud.com and example on gmail account whatever service like yahoo etc is configured .

Its your choice either to change login password or remove the accounts .

But if delete the iCloud account make sure you generate iCloud Keychain verification code before clicking on minus sign , later if you plan to set up the iCloud accounts you must at least have that code in record ( if you are using secondary authentication id and iCloud Keychain is set up ) , if you wish the process of generating code it can be explained .
