My old email is no longer accessible, forgot pw

I created this new account so that I could post on the forums here.
My old account is registered with a @netscape.net email (netscape died a LONG time ago, they transfered to AOL, but AOL has discontinued that service), and I forgot my password, so I have no way of getting to the email to change my password. I have paid for a premium account in the past, so could I possibly use the credit card I used as a verification for changing my account to a new email and password? I really don't want to have to create a new account and start from scratch with my contacts....
I'm not sure if this is the right page for this question, but I couldn't find any other that seemed relevant...

In your case, you need to contact customer support. They may ask you to answer some verification questions to prove that you indeed own that account, before they can assist you in resetting your password - Just open the link pasted below to see the instructions on how to get in touch with customer service -

Delete the iCloud account associated with an old email address no longer in use...Help!

I am trying to delete the iCloud account on my iPhone that is associated with an old email address no longer in use, so I can set it up with my new email address. I am unable to delete the account until I turn off "Find my iPHone" which it won't let me do unless I log in under the old email address..... Problem is, I don't remember the password for the old address/account. It is no longer functional so I cannot request a reminder. I've already updated my iTunes/Apple ID with my new email address. I'm stuck!! Help!

You remember the answers to the security questions or you call Apple, talk to someone in account security, and prove to them that you own the account.

How do I delete an ICloud acct on IPhone when the old email address no longer exists?

I changed my Apple ID password due to a phishing email and it started a downward spiral of issues. My original ICloud email address no longer exists. I have tried to sign out/in in itunes that worked but I cannot delete the ICloud account because the field is not editable for apple ID. I tried setting it back to the old email address to turn off Find my IPhone but it will nopt allow because the email address cannot be verified because it no longer exists.

To Delete an iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. You should then be able to delete the old account. When done, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.

What do you do when your rescue email is no longer accessible?

How do I reset my password and my security questions - if the apple system insists on sending all messages to a rescue email address that is no longer accessible and won't let me change the rescue address?

If you don't have access to your current rescue email address (you won't be able to change it until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down the page that you posted from update your rescue email address for potential future use

I upgraded my iPhone to 4s,itunes wont let me sign in because the apple id was a old email address no longer being used

I upgraded to a iphone 4s,when they transferred my info to my new phone itunes did not recognize my apple id because it is a old email adress that is not now being used.

IF - you changed your ID - go to Settings>Store>Apple ID - tap the ID and sign out, sign in the the correct account. Apps that you purchased with the old ID have to be updated with that ID and are always tied to that old ID.

Old email address (no longer used) is stored in iphone so cant access icloud

I can not access the old email address and I do not remember the password. I have a new icloud identity linked to y Apple ID with a username and password I do know but I can not acces it via my iphone 4 as it displays the old email address and I can figure out how to change it - does anyone know how?

go
settings->icloud
settings->itunes & app stores
if the old appleID shows up logout from it

I have a new Iphone 4S with my new Apple ID, Itunes and Icloud are both linked to that Apple ID. However, when I try to upload Icloud from my new phone, it pulls my old Apple ID, an old email I no longer use. I don't see a way to change it. Help?

I have a new Iphone 4S. It is linked to my new Apple ID, as is my Itunes, Itunes Match and Icloud. HOWEVER, when I try to upload Icloud on my actual phone, it pulls my very old Apple ID....an email that is no longer in use. I don't see a way to edit or change it to the correct Apple ID...is there a way to do that?

If the apple id being used by iCloud isn't the one you want, go to settings > icloud > delete account. It doesn't actually delete the account, but it removes it from your device so you can put in the right apple id

HT5312 what if my rescue email is no longer accessible?

From a Kappy post
The Three Best Alternatives for Security Questions and Rescue Mail
1. Use Apple's Express Lane.
Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services' at the
bottom of the page. In the next page click 'More Products and Services, then
'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Forgotten Apple
ID security questions' and click 'Continue'. Please be patient waiting for the return
phone call. It will come in time depending on how heavily the servers are being hit.
2. Call Apple Support in your country: Customer Service: Contact Apple support.
3. Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions.
A substitute for using the security questions is to use 2-step verification:

My "Inbox" screen on email is not longer accessible

I'm not sure what I did. But, my email only displays the first open email in my box. It doesn't show the inbox screen. I can't back up......and the only choices I have are the refresh, move to a folder, trash, reply, and write new email .......
I can't back up, or do anything to get back to the inbox.......quite frustrating.
Any help is appreciated.

Well, the back buttons are on the top portion of the screen. If you are looking at a mail message, there should be an arrow at the top left of the screen that should be labeled "Inbox". If that is not there, then you need to try and first power the phone off/on. If that does not fix it, the next step is a reset which is accomplished by holding the power and home buttons down together until you see the Apple logo and then releasing them, ignoring the slide to power off screen. See if that helps. If not, then you may have to either try and delete the mail account and recreate it, or do a restore on the phone.

Ok so the icloud account linked to my phone is an old account with an old email and password long forgotten and gone. I cant get rid of it to use my new icloud account with my new email because of that. HOW DO I FIX THIS PROBLEM!!!!?????

As I said above:
"You have been caught by Activation Lock, described here:
