Password protect the Mac Mail app is useless,and would not prevent access to your mailboxes.Your email is stored in files under your home folder,so you must password your mail folder.

Yet another one answering a post from 2005. These all seem to be coming
from a web site mirror of Usenet at http://compgroups.net.

Simple, really. I did Google searches of each of the referenced message
IDs and all of them were mirrored from http://compgroups.net. Giganews
is often used by third-party provider services and ISPs. The fact that
they are all posted by Giganews and are all responding to very old posts
are clues. That said, I certainly could be wrong in my conclusion, which
is why I used the word "seem" above. ; )
