I have a Curve 8900, with AT&T (BIS). My SD Card was using encryption. I turned off encryption, but the files in the card continue to have the encryption. Is there anyway of removing the encryption from the files already in the SD Card?

No there's no way to do that.
Turning off encryption will only prevent newly added files from being encrypted.
Previously encrypted files will remain encrypted.

So I have the following settings (Options - Memory) :
Media Card Support : On
Encryption Mode : Security password
Encrypt media files : No
Mass Storage support : On
Auto enable mass storage mode when connected : Yes

Do these settings mean that only media files (Photos, Video, music) will not be encrypted? What about other files (attachments (Eg. PDFs, e-mail messages, etc.), are they encrypted?

With those settings, if you save an attachment like an Excel spreadsheet on the sd card it will be encrypted. Pictures, videos, and I think voice recordings will not.

To un-encrypt, you can copy or move them (with encryption off) to a different folder on the card or to the device memory. Or email them to yourself. Or bluetooth send them. If you have a lot, try finding some BB app that will mass copy or move.

If we encrypt it on a BB, and we change BB... what happen, will the data be accessible or not ?

The encryption mode is tied to you password not your device.

what would be the solution if an IT Policy were used at the BES level ? Can Outlook data be encrypted without locking down the entire SD card ?

Your questions don't make much sense.
Outlook data (whatever that means) has nothing to do with SD card encryption. They're mutually exclusive.
