Cannot get in to my old email account

Hi, I cannot remember my password to my old email account or my security answer, I made it many years ago and have some really important emails on there that I need to access. I keep having to submit a form with all the information I remember, but I just can't remember enough to access it. As I said I made it many many years ago and so I probably didn't put much thought into what I wrote in the boxes 
Is there any way I can get in to my account?
