    Hi,

    After receiving and now pimping & jailbreaking my new 3gs all that i am left with and am having trouble understanding is what security options I have .

    A.)I have setup 3 mail accounts and the iPhone seems to store the passwords automatically , if I loose my phone then someone has easy access to my mail accounts , I have deliberately changed the passwords to invalid ones so it will prompt when connecting to mail accounts , but this really ssssllllooooowwwws down the mail process ....ANY IDEAS ?

    B.)Also i remember reading something about an App that essentially can be activated remotely and render your phone invalid if stolen ..Again ..ANY IDEAS?

    C.)Virus/Malware ...do I need to worry about these on iPhone ? , if so please suggest .

    D.)What can u recommend and what else should i have ?

    Ta In Advance.

    M.

    Settings -> General -> Passcode Lock

    You will then have to type the password you set every time to unlock your phone before being able to use it.

    If Jailbroken use Lockdown from Cydia.Lets you put a password on any app you want instead of having to put in a password everytime you unlock the phone.
