Lost Email, keeps forwarding emails to new inbox

Cameron Geekie 20

Hello, I work for a company that recently got bought over and because i received emails from a lot of people i thought it would be a good idea to set up email forwarding from the old email so i don't miss anything. Its been 6 months since we got bought over and now the only emails coming from the old inbox are spam/ junk emails. i can no longer access that old email to stop the forwarding. Is there anything i can do to stop the emails.

Thanks in advanced.

Hi!

I assume both email accounts are corporate ones, right? Corporate emails are managed by your organization or the responsible IT department.

You can only disable the forwarding if you have access to the old account. Another alternative would be to create a rule in your new email account to automatically delete the old emails.

Thank you very much, I'll have to set up a new Rule, the old company has gone bust and therefor has no IT department.

Thank you!
