By "Mail" do you mean Windows Mail or Windows Live Mail?
Neither have password-protected access. If you have privacy concerns
because others use the same computer, use a password protected
Windows user account, and when you are finished using the computer,
press Winkey+L.
You mentioned that you are asked to supply the password when sending.
Does it also do so before receiving? If only when sending, make sure you
have send authentication enabled:
Go to Tools, Accounts, select that account, Properties, Servers.
The box for "My server requires authentication must be checked.
