This doesn't answer your question either but in many of the companies I've
dealt with they don't even allow the use of .pst files for this very reason.

What type of environment are you in? Windows Server/Exchange? If you're in a
Windows domain environment you can completely restrict the use of .pst files
via Group Policies. There are also Group Policies you can apply to "disable
command bar buttons and menu items" from within Outlook. I don't see .pst
passwords as a pre-defined item but you can add custom items, if you know
the command bar ID, so it seems like it might be possible if you're using
Group Policies in your environment..

Or you could archive all incoming and outgoing email as it comes and goes
through your system. :-)

We're all agreed that management needs to put in a formal policy but there
is no point in having a policy unless it can be successfully enforced. Our
managers are on board and we are trying to find, specifically, how to
disable the button on the Outlook client that allows a password to go on
the
.pst file. So any help with that would be super!
