    If the issue is simply that you cannot remember the email address, start here:

    https://account.live.com/username/recover 

    But... here's more info on "old" accounts...

    1. The Account Recovery form is the only way to recover an "old" account.

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/account-billing/help-with-the-microsoft-account-recovery-form-b19c02d1-a782-dee6-93c3-dc8113b20c42 

    2. A common problem with "old" accounts... 

         If you have, at any point, gone for a year without signing in to the account

         it was closed and can't be recovered.

    3. Many people ask about contacting a Support Agent, but in this article https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/account-billing/contacting-support-for-a-microsoft-account-bb65aa6a-9135-31df-0b36-d6318d6f4e0f 

     is the warning that

       * To protect your account and its contents, our support agents and advocates are not allowed to send password reset links or access and change account details.

       * They cannot do more than you can do for yourself with the forms available from the website.

    Does this...

    > "i have been sending emails and replies"

    mean that you have been using the account? That it was not unused for a year at some point?

    It is very often the case when people say they can't get into an "old" account that the account was closed because of non-use.
