Explanation

The user could previously read encrypted emails, but now cannot - even after restarting, re-adding the account, and verifying all settings. Email encryption on corporate devices typically uses S/MIME certificates or similar PKI-based certificates tied to the user's identity. If the certificate has expired, the device can no longer decrypt incoming messages encrypted to that certificate, even though settings appear correct. Re-adding the email account doesn't resolve this because the certificate itself is expired. A bad TPM (B) is rare and would affect broader device encryption. The phone not being encrypted (C) wouldn't selectively break email decryption. An incorrect mail server (D) was ruled out when settings were verified.
