Did you setup a backup email address to recover the account?

 

I have other bad news for you, Yahoo recently wiped all messages if the account hasn't been active recently. Mine is completely empty now but I used Hotmail at the time for the private stuff and later gmail so yahoo was always the spare account for me for newsletters and such. If you can't remember the password, you can contact yahoo support directly. I haven't done that yet. If you had personalized it, there is a chance that if you upload a drivers license or passport they may reset the password for you.

 

GOOD LUCK
