Description
Cannot use chat functionality on desktop post-rekey of account. I press the rekey button to no effect.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the desktop chat failure after pressing the rekey button and inspect the logs using log ID 2cfdbfadb606e9a9e02e721c. Trace the reported directory read-access and chat message unboxing errors; done means chat works after account rekeying without that error.
