Explanation
Shared inbox folders are resources hosted on the mail server or network directory (such as Active Directory or Exchange), not locally on the user's machine. Since the user can still send and receive personal email - confirming their account and connectivity are intact - the issue is specifically with access to shared resources. The most likely cause is that network directory permissions for the shared mailbox or folder were modified while the user was on vacation (e.g., an admin changed group membership or folder ACLs). OS updates or internet security settings would not selectively remove shared folder visibility while leaving regular email functional.
