    Hi danielh,

    Here are some common causes and solutions for this problem:

    Cached Credentials: Outlook might be using cached credentials for encryption. Try clearing cached credentials and re-entering them.

    Certificate Issues: Ensure that the encryption certificates are installed and valid. If there's an issue with the certificate, it can prevent the prompt for credentials.

    Outlook Profile: Sometimes, issues like this can be resolved by creating a new Outlook profile. Your current profile might be corrupted.

    Outlook Updates: Make sure you have the latest updates for Outlook. Sometimes, software updates include bug fixes for such issues.

    Password Management Software: If you're using password management software, it might interfere with Outlook's credential prompt. Ensure that the password manager isn't causing the problem.

    Network and Firewall Settings: Check your network and firewall settings. They can sometimes block the necessary communication between Outlook and the email server, leading to issues with credential prompts.

    Outlook Add-ins: Disable any third-party add-ins in Outlook, as they could be conflicting with the encryption process.

    Email Provider Settings: Ensure that your email provider's settings for encryption are correctly configured. Some providers might have specific settings or requirements.

    Authentication Settings: Review the authentication settings in Outlook. Make sure they are configured to prompt for credentials when needed.

    Test in a Different Environment: If possible, test the email encryption in a different environment or using a different email client to isolate the issue further. This will help determine if the problem is specific to your Outlook setup.
