Original Redmine bug id: 6693
Original URL: http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/6693
Searchable id: yorba-bug-6693
Original author: Charles Lindsay
Original description:

I just noticed that the `geary.db` file, which includes the full text of all
your personal emails, is world-readable, as are all attachments.

I'd rather not allow anybody else who might be using my computer free access
to my personal communications. We should at least chmod these files so they're
only readable by the running user.
