You need to tell us the version of windows, and which program you use to
read your email.
If using Outlook Express, a password-protected "Identity" may help: see

.. but be aware that the level of protection afforded is unlikely to deter a
knowledgeable person if you're using W95/98/ME.
The safest method (assuming you're using "ordinary" Internet email, and not
a corporate facility) is to read your email in a web browser, and close it
when someone else has the machine. If your ISP doesn't provide "webmail",
investigate www.mail2web.com
