Which email account ??????
Important information can sometimes be sent to an old email
address that you no longer use.
For instance, if you registered a domain name, a website
hosting account, a PayPal, or eBay account with an old email address but forgot
to update your account when you switched email providers, then messages sent by
those sites will be overlooked.
Finding old email accounts is not that difficult, especially
because email users tend to use the same user name, or variations of it, for all
email accounts.
If you know, or have an idea of what the old user name was,
then retrieving, or changing the password is simple, but each email server uses
a different user name or password retrieval method.
Call your internet provider and tell them you have forgotten your email
account.
Give them your name and account number, found on your
monthly statement.
In some cases the Internet provider will want to email this
information to you.
Be sure they send the information to the alternate email address
which you can access.
You don't want them to send messages to the email address
you can't currently access.
The internet provider will ask you the security question you
selected when signing up for the account.
If you can't remember what you selected, then the customer
service representative may ask for a user name, your address, or the telephone
number under which you registered the account.
Reset the password with the customer service representative
over the phone.
The representative will help you change the user name if
needed and reset the password so you can access the account again.
Yahoo Email
Go to the Yahoo mail page which asks you for your Yahoo ID.
Click on "I can't access my account."
Make the appropriate selection from the choices.
If you choose "I can't remember my user ID" then
Yahoo will have you answer the "secret questions" they asked when you
signed up.
These questions will be something like: "What was your
first car?" or "Who was your third grade teacher?" If you answer
coincides with the answer you gave when you signed up for the account.
Yahoo will give you your user ID.
After recovering your user ID, click on "I can't access
my account" again and select "I can't remember my password,"
then click next and you will be taken to a change password screen, where you
can change your password.
Start using your old Yahoo email account.
MSN Hotmail Email
Go to the Hotmail, or the MSN ID page, where it asks for
your user name and password

Unfortunately, MSN requires you to remember the user ID.
Click on "I have forgotten password"
Choose whether you want your password mailed to you or
changed.
Unless you have registered a secondary email, if you choose
email then the password will be sent to the account you can't access.
If you want to change password then you will be asked the
security questions you specified when you registered the account.
Questions are something similar to, "Mothers birth
place?" You may also be asked for your zip code, or address.
Enter a new password.
Enter anew password when the MSN ID page loads again and
access your old email account.
Gmail Email
Access the Gmail ID page and click on "I can't access
my account."
Choose the appropriate selection from the page that loads.

"retrieve user name page," which you will see further down on the
page.

account.
The user name will be sent to that email.
Select "I have forgotten my password" If you know
your user name then choose and click on "retrieve password" page.
