Hi,

I have a 2Gb .pst file that I have built up over several years. (Never
have deleted good mail or autoarchived anything). This .pst file is of
course a 97-2002 version .pst file. I have reached the file size limit
for this. I an error message coming up that I need to switch to the new
kind of .pst file. When creating a new file there is the option for
"compressible encryption" or "high encryption". With a large mail box
(2Gb) would using either encryption method this significantly slow down
Outlook functions such as searches through contacts and mail folders.
Would one encryption method be quicker than the other? (It is running
on 3Ghz Xeon). Most of the mail is just messages but afew have some
fairly large multimedia attachments. Thanks.
