Ok, maybe you've covered this already and its obvious, but I'll post it out anyway as a warning not to switch between encrypted and unencrypted wallets.
So, I decided to encrypt a 45 week old wallet about 3 weeks ago, the primary machine wallet accidently got corrupted(thru testnet), so I decided to try an experiment, I put an August unencrypted version into a fresh copy of the latest stable version (0.10.16.16) onto a secondary machine.
I updated it, and it was all going fine until I got to (yes you guessed it) around 3 weeks ago ..
after the encrypted period started there where no more deposits (I was waiting for about another 200!).
The wallet finished synchronizing and it ticked off ok but still the 200 short.
That was that-left short,dissappeared but hopefully not gone forever, I tried encrypting the unencrypted wallet with the same encryption key as used 3 weeks ago in the long shot attempt (at being clever lol) and retriving all of the balance but this didn't work (after I clicked it I released it might conflict with the working encryption during future blocks and take the wallet out altogether in an unexpected manner and it was probably not such a bright idea after all)
To end, I pasted the new encrypted 3 weeks previous wallet and all came back balance wise as normal.
Moral of the story, don't get your (un)encrypted wallet keys mixed up and expect them to come back at a later date.
