Voyager is a bundle that includes a portable email client, and Private Disk. The latter is used to encrypt the email archive, to make sure no one can read your messages if you lose the disk, or if it ends up being stolen. Ther are two flavours of Voyager, the 256 MB one and the 2 GB one; no matter which one you have, sooner or later you will need more space. That can be done easily by migrating your email archive to a bigger removable disk.

1. It is assumed that both USB flash disks are ready; the original one is E:, and the new one is F:
2. Start Private Disk
3. Do not mount your image, instead go to Recovery and press Backup, to create a "compressed, encrypted, password protected backup copy of the Private Disk"
4. Choose a backup file and an encryption password (this password can be, and should be different from the password of the original image; although nothing will break if you use the same password)
5. Create a new encrypted disk, it should be located in F:\image.dpd
6. • Naturally, the new image must be larger than the original one, so that there is plenty of room for new emails
   • The new image should not occupy the flash disk entirely, leave at least 10 MB of space for other data
7. Go back to the Recovery tab and press Restore to "restore the data from a previously made copy of the Private Disk"
8. Select the destination image (F:\image.dpd) and enter the password
9. Choose the backup file made at step #4 and enter its password
10. After the process is done, copy all the files and directories (except image.dpd) from E: to F:

If you did everything correctly, you will see the following in F:

• PD, directory
• autorun.inf
• RunMe.exe
• image.dpd

Done! You will probably want to go through an additional step, and customize these settings of the encrypted image:

• Autorun, to launch Z:\Voyager\Voyager.exe automatically
• Autofinish, to run Z:\Voyager\tbExit.exe automatically when the disk is dismounted
• Disk Firewal - enable it and add the trusted applications (if any) to the white list. Remember that every program inside the virtual disk is trusted by default

I used Private Disk light to send a file attached to e-mail through AOL. I created the file with Private Disk Light and added JPEG (*.jpg). It attached to the e-mail and I sent it to myself through Comcast no problem. How can I get it to go through AOL? The disk size was 6 MB.

The problem is at the level of the mail server, some servers are configured to restrict attachments that:

• are too large,
• have a double extension (like .dpd.jpg),
• that contain password protected archives,
• that contain executable files (.exe, .com, various scripts, or screensavers),
• etc

It is quite difficult to guess what kind of restrictions you will be dealing with, as each administrator prefers different methods to reject potentially harmful attachments.

The most common way to get past these restrictions is to archive the file and password protect it, or to change its extension. However, this still won't get you past a clever filter. So, how to exchange files over the Internet if I don't have a FTP server or something similar?

Solution
I suggest you to use a file exchange service instead of email, try yousendit or rapidshare, these services will help you solve the problem at no cost, allowing you to upload files of any type with size restrictions that are quite relaxed.
