Shalom achi, I think you might be reading too far into this and too far into Dwight's answers. He is a helpful guy, but maybe too thorough sometimes. Like a couple of engineers I know. (sorry D. no disrespect intended :) )
MLO "Profile" is the single file where your data and lists are stored. It is a small database file stored in a binary format. Kind of like an .xls file for Excel or .doc file for Word, .mlo is the file for MLO program. .mlo file = what is called a profile inside MLO the program. Yesh? As for password protected/encrypted, I assume the password protection is about as strong as the password on a Word .doc or Excel file. Good enough against most people but if someone gets a copy of the file and is tech-savvy I'm sure they can find a tool on the Internet that will eventually open or crack it. How could someone get a copy? How would someone get a copy of your Excel file? Some virus' and malware steal files, a virus or someone who targets you may secretly install remote access software on your computer to steal stuff, if you get up to the kitchen or bathroom and don't lock your computer, anyone who physically can reach it can have access (coworkers or anyone in your workplace), etc.. In other words, protection is relative. It matters who you're protecting from. If your concern is Mossad, CIA/NSA, MI6, or any of their law enforcement friends, forget it.... Kids/wife/business partner? Yeah sure, it's fine. Assuming none of them is a computer whiz or out to get you :) As far you adding a layer of protection, my experience is that MLO isn't really too chatty with it's .mlo file - I'd guess that an on-the-fly encrypted file system like a TrueCrypt or similar would work fine. *BUT!!! * *Test test test* before you move your main .mlo file on to it! Also, go in MLO (the software) settings and increase the frequency and numbers of backups. Saving backups to a Truecrypt type volume should be no different than any other file. As long as you keep a good trail of backups for safety imo it's worth a shot. Keeping a few monthly backups archived to another medium or location is probably a good idea too. Assuming you NEED this level of encryption. Do you *really* need your todo lists on a truecrypt vol? Tov, that's up to you. :) hth, J.
