I have some encrypted e-mail and cannot access because I do not have old key,
can someone tell me how to unencrypt all messages.

Generally speaking, you can't. If people could decrypt messages without the
key then it wouldn't be a very secure encryption method and nobody would
want to use it.

Well, from where did you get the old key? Why not redownload your old
cert from there?

Someone who reloaded my profile, said that he accidently deleted the old one.
That is why I am trying to find out how to do it.

they have decryted software but without the old key, that is the problem.

You cannot decrypt a message except with the private key whose public key
was used to encrypt it.

You can't. Contact the issuer and see if they have key recovery
