Actually all I care is that it uses standard 128bit symmetric key encryption and it requires no installation, which is a huge plus when I  want to share the tools with other people.

I also use an alternative solution, but which requires installation : it's the well known archiver winrar (www.rarsoft.com) which has some unique features, like extra data added as CRC, and AES encryption, and profile management (avoids typing the password for encryption - only).

Hrm, dsCrypt uses BuzzWords® and makes pretty impossible claims ("immunity to keylogger-infested environments"). And things like "exceptional resistance to brute-force password search"? If somebody really wants to get at your data, they won't be hammering a GUI, they'll be working directly.

I wouldn't touch this :)

I also use X1: I have 3 pst files over 1GB each and it works fine.  The only drawback is that is uses a lot of ram and virtual memory.  Copernic interface was nicer IMO, but the engine used to be really buggy and missed a lot of e-mails.  I have not tried Copernic V2. 

Microsoft has now launched several months ago its own Desktop search.  Anyone did try it ?
