Phone Won't Encrypt

Simple question:  How do I encrypt my phone?  I select the option available under settings, with a pin enabled.  The phone seems to begin the process and restarts for the first time.  The process does not continue after that despite warning me that it will take a few hours and several restarts.  Further, the email app, my reason for starting down this road, will continue to prompt me for encryption.  I am on Android 4.0.4, fully updated, charged, etc.  Any advice is appreciated.

you need apps from the playstore so you can encrypt your phone.

is Sony spying on users in this forum?
