Sometimes, emails may not be decrypted when using our Microsoft Outlook add-in. This issue is most often caused by the add-in inability to detect that an email requires decryption due to the content of the notification being modified.
Encrypted emails are detected by reading the body of a message and searching for signs of an encrypted email within the notification. The add-in also searches for .switch files added to a message.
We recommend trying the following troubleshooting steps:
- Ensure you can open the .switch file if one is attached to the email. If you can open the attachment, the email has been received correctly.
- Open Registry Editor and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Egress\Switch
- Right-click in a blank space, click New, then select DWORD.
- Set the name to DEMTextDetection and the value to 0.
- Do the same steps here: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Egress\Switch
- Restart Microsoft Outlook and check if the issue is resolved.
