Working at Home?

We won't spend too much time here recapping current events.  You know what's going on.  And you're probably working from home right now as you read this.

Its a way of working to which we are fully accustomed.  It has been a bit of a surprise to us just how much of the world is finally getting around to working online.

Since last week, things have slowed a bit for us, so if you have any questions about working online, or about how we work, or the tools we use, or whatever... feel free to connect with us.  We enjoy hearing from people like you, and are always glad to help in any way we  can. 

We are a small company. We are real people.  If we can do anything for you right now, we will be glad to try to help.

Sending Large Email File Attachments from Microsoft Outlook with OutDisk SFTP Add-in

Businesses have long struggled with email file attachments.  Large file attachments in email are likely to bounce, failing to be delivered to the recipient. When they do arrive, they put a strain on server inbox resources.  Email file attachments also present a security risk from virus phishing attempts, causing email administrators to quarantine or strip the file from the email message.

There are plenty of 3rd party services who will provide email file attachment hosting for a fee.  Storing data outside of the organization and depending on the security protocol of the 3rd party provider is a great solution for some companies, but for those who use Microsoft Outlook and want more control of outbound email data, there is OutDisk SFTP.

OutDisk SFTP is an add-in that integrates with Microsoft Outlook 365/2019/2016/2013/2010. When an a sender attaches a file of any size to an email, OutDisk SFTP processes it without any additional requirement being placed on the sender.

In  seamless operation, OutDisk SFTP removes the attachment from the outbound email, uploads it over encrypted secure FTP to a company controlled server, and inserts a link and message into the email instructing the recipient to download the file.  Only the message and link are sent through email, while downloading the file occurs over secure TLS via https protocol.

OutDisk SFTP is free to try. If your organization needs an affordable and effective way to help your email users share files, while maintaining control on company servers,  try OutDisk SFTP.

Re-Introducing PstViewer Lite Outlook Email Viewer

https://www.encryptomatic.com/pstviewer/lite/


PstViewer Lite is the little brother of our PstViewer Pro email viewer.  At Encryptomatic LLC, we haven't paid much attention to PstViewer Lite lately. It's one of those rock solid products that performs well and hasn't demanded much attention from our support or development staff. That is about to change, however.



We are presently working to update PstViewer Lite to the most advanced version of our MVCOM email rendering engine.  This will keep PstViewer Lite performing well into the foreseeable future.  The impending update of PstViewer Lite seems like a good reason for us to re-introduce this workhorse Windows software product.


PstViewer Lite was first released a decade ago to fill a market need for a budget priced, well supported Microsoft Outlook email viewer.  You can associate PstViewer Lite with many different email file types, including .Msg, .Eml, .Mbox, .Pst, .Pst and even .MHT and .MHTML files.

Associations can be changed any time, but typically is set during the initial installation of PstViewer Lite.

 PstViewer Lite is simple to use. Just locate the folder that holds the email file(s), and PstViewer Lite will read the individual mails into an organized list.  To preview an email in the viewing pane, just click on it.

To investigate the email message further, double click to open it in a full window.

Email Search


PstViewer Lite has advanced search capabilities.  Use it to search a ost, pst or mbox file, as well as directories full of .msg and .eml emails.  Clicking on the search icon brings up a quick text search option. A more advanced search option is available to allow you to search for emails by mixing criteria such as sender, setting start and end calendar date for the search, searching specific email fields such as subject, sender, recipient and more.

Email to PDF 

PstViewer Lite can convert an email message to a PDF document.  This is the main difference between PstViewer Lite and Pro.  Where PstViewer Pro can export thousands of emails to PDF, PstViewer Lite will export individual selected emails to PDF.  The results are impressive.

To convert an email to PDF, first select an email from the PstViewer Lite email list. Next, click the PDF icon in the toolbar, and finally choose a place to save the PDF file.
