Re: PGP & Outlook

["Craig Searle" <craig.searle () sift com au>]

Hi William,

When you copied the Outlook folder to the PGP disk, did you check to see that all your emails are actually being stored 
within that particular .pst file?

Also, if you unmount the PGP disk and then re-start Outlook can you still get to the emails? I'm wondering if Outlook 
cache's a copy of the .pst file upon opening...

Cheers,
Craig.
