Students Going Off to College Can Take Their Outlook® Email with Them on a Portable USB Flash Drive
P.I. Protector software from imagine LAN provides an easy way for students to carry and access their Microsoft Outlook email on a portable USB flash drive
Nashua, NH (PRWEB) August 31, 2004 -- imagine LAN, Inc., a leading provider
of software applications for flash drives to vendors, corporate customers and
individual users, has developed a unique software application that enables
students (and other highly mobile individuals) to port their Outlook® or Outlook
Express email, account settings, contacts, etc. to a standard USB flash drive
that can be accessed from virtually any Windows PC –
anywhere.
P.I. Protector Mobility Suite is a
perfect match for students for whom the use of multiple PCs at various locations
(home, dorm, lab, library, etc.) is the norm. By pairing the inexpensive P.I.
Protector software with a standard USB flash drive, students can use the flash
drive as the central repository for their Outlook or Outlook Express email. They
can easily carry the flash drive with them for use on any PC, where they can
send and receive messages, manage their email, contacts, calendar, and access
all their folders, messages and attachments - regardless of their
location.
For many students, identity theft has become a major concern.
P.I. Protector’s advanced “leave no trace” technology ensures that no traces of
the user’s email or Internet Explorer activities are left behind on the host PC.
Instead, P.I. Protector redirects email and internet browsing data to the USB
flash drive. This eliminates the need to erase or “wash” data from the host
system when the student’s session has been completed.
“As a busy student
with a heavy course load” explains Natalie Sehovich, a marketing major at
Merrimack College, “I’ve found P.I. Protector’s portable Outlook to be a huge
convenience for me. I don’t have to lug my notebook everywhere just to have
access to my email, and I’m comfortable knowing my private information won’t get
left behind when I use a friend’s computer or a public terminal.”
P.I.
Protector Mobility Suite enables users to create a portable PC environment—one
in which a USB flash drive loaded with the appropriate software can turn any PC
into their own “virtual system.” With this method, a user can plug their flash
drive into any Windows PC and operate the host PC as if it were their own, by
accessing their entire personal computing environment—files, email, Internet,
and other settings from the flash drive, with full security and protection of
their personal information. All data throughout the entire session that would
normally be stored on the hard drive—such as email messages, files, cookies,
passwords, URLs, etc.—is redirected to the USB flash drive, which prevents any
information from reaching the hard drive of the system being used. Additionally,
file synchronization enables users to update files between the flash drive and
their PC, and it does not require installation or additional set up on the host
computer.

Mobility Suite supports Windows XP/2000/ME/98SE. In order to run portable
Outlook, Outlook 2000 (C/W), 2002, or 2003 must be installed on the host
