There is no way to access this account at all. Yahoo accounts are deleted automatically for inactivity after 6 months of not signing in - your address no longer exists!
You can try signing up for a new account in that name, hoping nobody else has chosen it in the meantime. Click this link and fill out the form to create a new account. https://edit.yahoo.com/registration?.int%85
You can also go to http://www.yahoo.com to click 'Sign up'.

If that does not work, you will have to change the mail address linked to your Facebook account and Blackberry.

Changing your Facebook email address is pretty easy, it's just different from most email and other services out there. It is three step process. However, it's possible you may not need all three; Facebook allows you to add email addresses to your account without removing the old unless you want to.

Step 1: Add an Email Address:
Login to your Facebook account, and click on Account, and then on Account Settings. Once in Account Settings, click on the 'change' link next to Email. Enter a new email address in the New Contact Email: field. Once you press Add New Email, Facebook will prompt you for your password as a security measure. An email is then sent to both the old and the new address for verification, and the Email section of the settings page changes to: Facebook's email status while waiting for email conversation. Check your email at the new address, and you should see a Facebook confirmation email message. Click on the link provided and you're almost done. At this point, you can login using the new email address and your existing password. However, the old email address hasn't yet been removed, and will still get notifications. That might be enough for you.

Steps 2 & 3: Remove the Old Address:
Return to that email section, click on that change link again and you'll see something interesting: Facebook showing all associated email addresses. All you've done so far is add an email address to the account. You now need to do two things, but only if you want to:
Step 2: Select your new email address as the "Contact Email", and click on Change Contact Email. This will cause all subsequent notification to go to your new email address.
Step 3: After you've changed the Contact Email, a "Remove" link will appear next to the old email address. Click that if you want that email address completely disassociated from your Facebook account.
