Are you me? I also don't have access to my first Google account but it forwards all of its emails to my current one.

I can confirm it works as well since someone sometimes fat fingers whatever email address they use for car repair and I get the invoice for it due to Google not respecting the dots in the email address.

My master plan is to get hired at gmail just so I can click the admin reset password button and get access to that account directly so I can finally see the very first emails I ever received.

Similar thing happened to me. Lost access to a perfectly set-up forwarding account. The account recovery process is impossible because I nolonger have the same phone number from 10 years ago.
Hey me too! Changed my phone number like 12-14 years ago so can no longer access the account.

And same as everyone else, already had forwarding in place so it's just kind of... there in an uncomfortable limbo. I don't really use it for much so it's not a big loss but it would be nice to resolve one way or another.
