I have I just set up an account but I put the wrong email, so I can't verify the account.
I got a new laptop and set up a dropbox account. Unfortunately, I misspelled 1 letter on the email and now i cant get access to verify with the 6-digit code. How can i correct my email?

You won't be able to access the account if you're not able to receive the security code, and there's no way to change your email without access to the account.
If you just created the account, create a new one with the correct email.

If you already redeemed it, no, you wouldn't be able to use it again.
Where was the typo in your domain name? Was it in your name before the @ or in the domain after it? And is the email on a custom domain that you control, or something more like Gmail, Yahoo, an ISP, etc.?
