(The following is just an idea, and if anyone uses it then it is at their own rist) Removable devices are really good for this, but when you dont have one in your system then your a bit stuck, if this is the case try this. Write an application that uses a command line driven application like PKZIP or you could even use one of the PGP archivers, then archive everything that is in you mail folder and delete any unarchived information. When you arrive, unzip or unarchive the data, when you leave zip it up. pkzip allows you to use a password, it can be cracked but i dont thik the admin would bother.. (then again you never know). You could even replace the deleted data with some fake stuff just so you dont draw attention to the fact that the files are not there, if they are not there he is going to wonder where they are anf go loooking for them.
