One could wrap or modify evolution in a way that locked and required a pass word.
But I suspect that is not the question.
So what if Evolution was locked or had a working 'lock-me' button.
What would constrain anyone from using Netscape mail, mozilla mail,
bin/mail, sendmail, telnet xxx 25, pine, mutt, elm, Balsa, exmh,
emacs, xemacs, fastmail, innmail mhmail, readmsg, or any of the other
possible mail tools.
Better to lock the desktop.
