    Give your friend their own user account, ie logon name & password for Vista.
    Once they are in your user account they can access your files.

    so anybody can read them.How do I stop this happening so that my e-mails can
    only be opened by me with my passwoed .

    The only way to do this is to disable anyone from logging on to your user
    profile. Anyone with access to your user profile can access your emails, so
    if you give someone that password, then they will have access. There is no
    way to specifically block access only to your mail.
