Unable to access my Dropbox account because the email I used for the account isn't active.

I am unable to access important data in my Dropbox account because the email I used for the account has been deactivated, and I cannot receive the two-step verification codes. I have contacted my email service provider, and they confirmed that it is impossible to recover the email account. Is there anything I can do to regain access to my Dropbox account? I have tried recovery attempts three times, and now the account is locked, so I cannot make further attempts.

Thank you.

      It's a secondary authentication issue. Because I know the email and password of the account, but it requires secondary authentication, but I can't get the mail with the deleted email.
