Hi CaptTeeCee
There is no way to fix this other than set up a brand new account with the correct email I'm afraid. Dropbox dont, and wont, update emails on accounts unless they can contact the account holder - which is obviously not working or you'd get the email and be able to update it.

Is the only way DB will verify an email account is through sending an email code? Can't they send it to a mobile number? I like many have an old account from a OLD employer and am being charged every year $130!!! and I do not remember my password. I cannot ask my old employer to reinstate my email so that DB can send me a verification. That is silly. Is there any other way to at least downgrade the account? so that I m not paying for nothing?

Hi cnmany, email verification can only be done via an email, currently.
If you can't access the account, you can contact the billing team by opening an incognito/private browsing window, while not signed into your account, and accessing this link, choose 'Other' and then put in an email address that you can access, followed by your billing info.
