If your mac is setup for multiple user accounts (everyone gets their
own log in ID), then your mail folders are stored in <user's home
directory>/library/mail folder for each individual users. They can not
see yours, and you can not see theirs. As far as I know, mail does not
have any security built into it to keep access from certain mailboxes.
