I sent money to an old e-mail address that the recipient no longer uses. Can I get that money back?

What happens to money sent to an inactive e-mail account?

I tried sending money to a friend, but she says I've used an old account she can no longer access.

If the money isn't claimed, do I get it back??

What does it say on the transaction on your paypal account, is it showing unclaimed or???
