A system and method for securing electronic mail by providing secure access to e-mail folders. A number of folders can be created in order to classify electronic mail content. Folders can be encrypted and locked utilizing a password. A "closed lock" symbol can be displayed by the side of a folder when the folder is locked and an "open lock" symbol can be displayed when the folder is opened, thereby providing a visual indication of the status of the folder. The folders can also be automatically locked after a period of time, which can be defined by a user or the e-mail system. The electronic mail content in the locked folders cannot be displayed when a user elects to display the contents of all folders, thereby providing an additional level of security. Similarly, restricted access can also be provided to a user or a group of users to access the locked folder(s).
