RE: Outlook Security

By default the .pst file is in the user's profile.  If you are using NTFS
permissions then the permissions on the file should already be the
following:

Local administrator - Full Control
System - Full Control
User (owner) - Full Control

This will prevent a regular user from accessing the .pst file but will not
stop someone who is determined to get to it.

For desktop computers, my company moved the .pst files to the user's home
directory server.  This is not supported by Microsoft but works ok for us.

I wondered if we can have the .pst file on a NTFS disk (either localy or on
the network) with specific ACL's defined for the owner of the Mailbox.

Any comments...?

        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.
