What is OutLock?
If you want to keep messages in your Outlook information store (eg. PST-File)
safe you can protect the store by using a password.
However there are several tools around the net which are able to recover the
the password for a PST-File.
OutLock overcomes this security leak by allowing you to encrypt (lock)
sensitive messages with a single click within your Outlook information store.
OutLock encrypts the message in place. Means that the original content of a
message is encrypted by OutLock and then saved to the message item. There is no
additional software necessary to encrypt or decrypt the messages.
How does it work?
After installing OutLock a new toolbar is added to the Outlook window:
If you want to lock (encrypt) a message simply select the message and click
the "Lock"-Button on the OutLock toolbar.

A dialog pops up where you can enter your secret passphrase (password) to
encrypt the message with. The longer the password the stronger the encryption
will be.

After clicking OK the message is locked (encrypted) as you can see in the
preview pane of the message.

If you want to unlock (decrypt) the message click the "Unlock"-Button on the
OutLock toolbar. A dialog pops up where you can enter your password to decrypt
the message.

After clicking OK the message is unlocked (decrypted) again.
