Why not password protect your phone? That way you can still access your email from your phone...

Why you probably can't remove the actual email app, you can delete the accounts. How you do that would be a function of the phone's operating system and maybe it's version.

Thank you so much. How/where do I find out how to password protect my phone?

How it's done depends on the type of phone. Android (if so, what version or brand), iphone, or windows OS?

Thanks so much as giving me a hint as where to start!!! I did figure out how to have a password to get onto my phone.

could you not lift a fingerprint from something I have touched and use it to get into a phone that logs with fingerprints? or have I been watching too many James Bond Movies?

Too many James Bond movies... ;-)

Maybe so but,

When spoofing a finger print security system just remember that after someone uses it to gain access they leave something behind.... A finger print. People don't usually wipe their print off the glass after they use it.

I think I have watched too many James Bond movies also! Technology is going so fast these days.

As an interesting aside to all of this, apparently current (American) law says that law enforcement can't force you to open a phone locked with an actual password but they can if it's only a fingerprint. Not quite sure about the logic there...but I think it has something to do with the 5th Amendment and self incrimination.

mike-

Interesting. So they can force you to put your finger on it? I guess if they have trouble spoofing a fingerprint, it might be tough for amateur spies to accomplish that...
