I created an account using an email address that doesn't exist - how can I change it?
I made use of the acer and dropbox offer, however I misspelled my mail using gmail.com instead of hotmail.com. Now I don't have acces to this misspelled gmail account, nor can I create this mail because gmail doesn't allow me to use lowercases (which I used with this account). Now the helpcenter says I can change my mailadress but only if it's verified, but ofcourse i'm not able to verify this mailadress.
Is there any way I can get my mail changed?
