How do I access an old email account after I forgot the password and verification?

If you haven't logged into the account for a long time, the mailbox is very likely to be disabled. You would need to contact the provider, and ask if they could enable it for you.


Most would delete the mailbox after a set period of inactivity, so it may well be gone.
