Monicar, that's a tough one.

In several companies I've worked for, giving or receiving access to your personal email account was a SERIOUS offense, usually resulting in termination.   However, if your company does not require this, then all you can do is make it a personal issue, i.e., you don't feel comfortable allowing that kind of access to your LN account, etc., etc.

I've had a fair amount of experience in LN, so let me run through some things and see if they help you.  

In notes, you can give someone various levels of access to both your email and calendar, from view only to complete access.  It's under tools--preferences while you are in your email view.  Even at the open access,  when you send an email from someone else's inbox, you get a "sent by XXX under the header", which indicates that the email owner did not send it. (i.e., I send mail under my bossies name, so it shows as Bossie's name, sent by mathwhizchick).  Can you give your co-worker view only access to your inboxes?

Once someone has view access to your inbox, I don't know of any way to stop access to a specific LN folder by encrypting that folder.  (I'll keep nosing around and see what I can find, though).  You CAN work with specific emails, however.
--encrypt the emails so they cannot be copied, forwarded.
--encrypt them so ONLY the email owner can open and view (not the viewer access person).
--tag them with a return receipt so you know when they are opened.
--bcc a copy of each email to your private (non work)email account so you have a copy of the original email.  This will allow you to demonstrate that she altered the email.
--attach an electronic signature (can only be done by the email owner, not the viewer)
--if you haven't already done so, check the LN help feature (F1 on my PC), and do some browsing; you may glean some other ideas, since you're the closest to the situation.

I'll keep nosing about and picking brains and see what I can find out.  In the meantime, you may need to go to a low-tech documentation system for this.

If your boss believes this person can do no wrong, then I suspect no documentation in the world will convince him otherwise.  At that point, I would be trolling for a new spot, since working in that situation would become untenable (BTDT, wore out the t-shirt.  At least I honed my guerilla warfare tactics for the future... :-/)

Sorry for the length of this post.  Feel free to email me with specific questions if you like.

Good luck.
