Changing email when I dont have access
I recently got a new phone and the old one was how I recovered my passwords and linked accounts to it as well. I've got a new phone and lost my two primary emails, which has my steam account etc, and I cant change my number or email on here unless I have access to it.

I filled out the required information to remove these things, but after I completed the form, it says theyre going to send me a notification email to the one I said I can no longer access. Is there a way to tell them again I cant get onto my email? It even says on the ticket "new email" but yet they are sending me the notification email to the one I told them I cant get on? Does this make sense to anyone?

I updated the ticket right after asking if they could send it to my new email provided but I dont know how steam resorts these things if its human or robot. Anyone have any experience with losing your email and phone and steam coming through to help them? I really dont want to lose my library of games I worked hard for.

They said there going to respond to the email I told them I have no access to. Why would that be something that they would do?

because that's the email on the account. don't use expendable emails/isp emails. only use emails you can recover like gmail or your own webserver

I realize thats the email on the account, but when I recover due to "i cant access this email", they go ahead and send it to that one? lol what?

Could a steam rep or whoever, please chime in. This is pretty important.

I replied to the lil ticket they setup and said I dont have access to the email which is the reason for my recovery. But I'll use some patience.
