That is why you keep the certificate even after it expires. It will allow you to decrypt old e-mail, but won't interfere with your "shiny-new" certificate. Quoting Alejandro Criado-Pérez <alejandro () criadoperez com>:
Thanks a lot for your answer and recommendation. They look pretty neat. I'll try them out when my actual Verisign IDs expire. But the main problem is still there. If you receive encrypted email you can't save it unencrypted so when your digital ID expires and you throw it away, you will never be able to open your old encrypted email anymore.

The Thawte IDs are free, and they work the same as the Verisign IDs. You may want to try them out . .. . www.thawte.com Mike
