Can’t regain access to my old email tied with my ea and xbox

Hey there, please note that we're unable to assist with account-related issues here in the EA Forums. If you need assistance regaining access to the account, please contact EA Help. If they can't assist you in making any changes, it's because you were unable to verify account ownership, and in this case, no changes can be made. 

Hard to fathom a less helpful reply from a "community manager" what a joke
