How do I get access to old accounts?

- In short, you can't.
Your email address is required to access an account. If you no longer have access to the email in question and you don't know your password (or the password has expired) you can no longer gain access the account. Even if it was a paid account, all Dropbox would help you with is removing the payment method from the account so you're no longer charged. They wouldn't help you gain access to the account.
The only possibility in such a scenario is if you still have a device linked to the account and syncing, but that doesn't seem to be the case here.

You can deleted recover files from https://www.dropbox.com/help/security/recover-deleted-files-folders
If your account has been removed its almost certain that you cannot get the account back but you'll need to log a ticket at www.dropbox.com/support and track at http://dropbox.zendesk.com
Note, I'm also removing your email unless you want spammed.
