Does outlook encrypts its *.pst files by default?
All employees got the letter from HR, someone's laptop got stolen
from the car and it had personal info like SSN etc. on the Microsoft
Outlook emails. I know that it is very easy to get windows files even
if it password protected. My concern is over the possibility that the
pst files can be put on another pc with outlook and viewed.

To echo the other replies - no, sorry. Even if it were protected by a
password, anyone who wanted to spend a few minutes on Google would be able
to get to the data.
Local computer file encryption or no, that data should *never* be allowed to
leave your properly secured servers/network in the first place.
