Encrypt directories without using Filevault

[juan.medin]

Hi,

Do you know any good alternative (free or commercial) to Filevault to encrypt some directories (like email, address book, calendar, your documents, etc) but leaving the other dirs in a normal state? The performance impact of filevault makes using it it impossible for me.

Thanks in advance,
Juan
