Folder Lock lets you protect specific email folders with a PIN or biometric authentication (Face ID/fingerprint). Unlike the main app lock that protects your entire email, Folder Lock gives you targeted security for your most sensitive folders. Keep your financial emails, personal correspondence or confidential work folders locked while other folders remain easily accessible.
