Does anyone here know of a not so complicated way of password protecting and encrypting outlook express so that new downloaded emails are also protected and encrypted automatically?
Have your pst's, or your location where you download your email, in an encrypted partition that is password protected. Win7 ultimate has Bitdefender, and open source Truecrypt are some options.
Microsoft has taught law enforcement how to break their own encryption. MS software cannot be trusted. Truecrypt is a better option however I believe it is also compromised.
