Password Recovery Without Phone Access

My email can be read on my phone but not accessed because I don't remember the password. I went to do password recovery only to see that they want to send password to my old phone number. I no longer have that phone number assigned to me and am sure they have given it to someone else by now. I cannot update my info without having access to my acct. Is there any other way besides deleting my account and starting another one? because I have saved emails that are in folders that i need to access.
