Security Info HELP!

OK, so until now I've never had a problem downloading apps without having to enter in all of the security info questions and answers that I created back in 2006...It's asking me to put in the questions and the answers or else I can't download any new apps.

I no longer have the email account that my iTunes account is connected to. If I create a new Apple ID for my iPhone so I can download apps, will the apps on my phone be deleted?

Please help me! I'd love to download new apps but can't do so until I get this figured out! Thanks.

 

Thank you for your help, but that didn't help. I still have my email address and am able to update my apps, I just can't download new apps because I don't know the security questions that I'm prompted to ask myself and answer...

I know my password and username, just not my security questions and answers.
