In addition to JR's comments I'd say this is also a philosophical
difference in security between Mac OS X and Windows.
According to the designers of Microsoft Entourage and Apple's Mail,
security of data is the responsibility of the operating system, not the
application. The passwords you're entering are to access your E-mail
accounts, not to prevent access to the local data.
If you're logged in to Mac OS X as a particular user then all data is
expected to belong to that user. No need for the application to protect
it. Otherwise, you should expect Microsoft Word to prompt you for a
password to open any Word do***ent, iPhoto to prompt you for a password
before you can open any album, Safari to prompt you for a password
before you can view bookmarks and history, etc.
