Why was my email protection turned off on Bitdefender

Unbeknown to me, Bitdefender email protection was turned off on my Android phone. My email was hacked at Sydney airport and I received a flood of scam emails. I've since changed my email password and activated email protection on Bitdefender. My question is, How did I not get a warning that protection was off until the day after the event?
