If emails were sent to my address before the email was created, is there a way to get those emails?

If an email is sent to an email address that does not exist, there is no possible way of retrieving it. Emails can only be received by an existing email address.

If you create the email account and resend the email, either manually by the person or automatically by their server, then the emails will arrive as they should.
