The Dreaded Red 'X'

I was doing my usual scan of newly released BlackBerry KB articles over the weekend and one familiar article popped up, KB01608 - Transaction error - decryption error
This KB has been rolling around in one form or another for years, and yet again it seems to have received a minor update and been spat out once more.
I highlight this article not just because of my familiarity with it, but because it's one of the more common issues I've come across in recent years.
In its current incarnation, KB01608 lists ten potential culprits for the user that's called you and said "I can't send any email...it just comes up with a red 'X'!!!" Get the user to open the failed message, scroll up above the subject line to the 'Message Status' field and there you'll see 'Transaction error - decryption error' at which point, reach for that KB!!!
Here is RIM's top 10 on this issue:
