If you use encryption, what's to stop someone using a password cracker on the password that is used
for the encryption?

Even if there was a password, simply downloading a password cracker, freeand
easy to find, would open the the pst. Only way to go is encryption!
TrueCrypt is free and very good.

No, Outlook doesn`t encrypt pst-files. If your pst-file was not
protected by a password it is no problem to read the e-mails.

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.
