I use Safehouse, with Blowfish 443, but I can't speak for its security as I don't have source (commercial product). Seems to work fine. Beware that you disable disk compression on the host disk where you store Safehouse's disk images, or you'll get weird errors. So far the only drawback to Safehouse is that it will only format as FAT, so you waste a lot of space on huge clusters, but the nice thing is that it will grow the disk as needed. If you could format it as NTFS, it would be much better since you'd be able to format the volumes with compression. (Of course NT wouldn't let you unmount them without a fuss, but I digress.) It has a nice feature that if you lock your workstation, it unmounts your disks. This is good, but be sure to quit your mailer before you lock your machine, or it will freak out. :) Now, if someone installs a keyboard capture device I'm fucked as they'll have the passphrase, so that's a hole to watch for. Inspect your keyboard, swap it often, look for tampered files, etc. Crack open the case, make sure there's no bugs inside, etc. How I get my mail: ssh tunnel for port 25 and 110 into my mail server, pop3 incoming mail, SMTP outgoing mail. Mail is stored on Safehouse disk. All mail to/from my server goes encrypted. (Of course between SMTP servers, that's another story, but, there's PGP for that.) Works fine.
