Hi,

In deed that is correct. There is only one thing that you have to keep
in mind. PST password can be easylly broken en less than 5 secs. So
watch out and be ware of what kind and type of information you keep in
that PST.

Bst rgrds

PST Password

Yes you can add a password by right clicking on the pst file and going
down to properties > advanced > change password.

Hope this helps

Maria

Open outlook, new -> "outlook data file" -> choose what ever options you
want. Once you have the  new box / icon in your mail section.. You right
click -> options -> properties -> advanced.

From what I know its basic windows cryto and password. But it's a quick
easy fix.

        I'm searching for tools to enhance outlook (local pst)
security.

        - I'd like to encrypt some folders in the pst ( not all
folders )
        - And if it is possible I'd like to hide some folders. And 
show then only if a password or key is entered.

        I'm googling for it and can't find anything that looks like
this.
Does any one know any tool like this?

Thanks a lot,
Thiago lima.
