 * When placing an attachment (PDFs mostly) into the Media Library, it would be 
   nice if there were an option to set the security for it. I’m presently using 
   Media Vault but need to replace it since it’s not been supported for quite some
   time, but the best time to set the protection is when Postie is loading the content
   into the site.

 * I’m not familiar with security on media items. Are you referring to OS level 
   security or something else?

 * I don’t really care which level so long as only logged in users are the only 
   ones with access to teh files. I’m using [https://wordpress.org/plugins/media-vault/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/media-vault/)
   right now, but I have to go after the emails arrive and tag the PDFs as protected
   to keep them being available as a direct link.

 * You would need to create a Postie AddOn that leverages the Media Vault plugin
   logic. See [http://postieplugin.com/extending/](http://postieplugin.com/extending/)
