OST/PST encryption/compression #46

Open bphd opened 3 years ago

bphd commented 3 years ago

Are PST/OST files compressed by default? Or can they be compressed at demand? With what they're compressed?

When I try to open them plain with a text editor, I find no readable text, whatever the used encoding

I read that they can be encrypted but that it's a not well implemented functionnality, that it require a special configuration by the administrators, and that it's not done by default. Am I right on this point?

I hope you managed to figure this out. I just wanted to let you know why you had no response: https://github.com/Dijji/XstReader/issues/51
