After 6 months of inactivity plus an additional two months for each year you held the account, Yahoo deletes free mail accounts automatically. You may be able to re-activate such a mail account, but there's no guarantee that the former content is still available.
The Flickr help pages announce that after 90 days of inactivity a free account may be deleted - however, they do not mention if it always does get deleted or not, and they also don't mention what happens with the pictures in your account when it gets deleted.
