There are significant security issues associated with this - all designed to protect your data.

If you can’t sign in to your email account, try contacting your email service provider (ESP) for assistance. Only your ESP can help you regain access to your email account. Dropbox is not an ESP, and can’t contact ESPs on your behalf.

If your ESP is able to help you regain access, you can then request a password reset link for your Dropbox account.

  • Thank you for the hint. The email is deleted by the ESP you are sharing... So I don't think I could do anything with the ESP.
