Your only option is to contact Support, but as Mark said, it may not be possible to recover the account.
Dropbox uses the email address for account verification. If you can't access the email they then may not give you access, and there's no way to pay to gain access. This is why it's so important that you maintain a valid email address, not just for Dropbox, but for any service that uses an email address as a login or for verification.
Only Support will be able to assist you further with this, and know if there are other options. I'd suggest opening a ticket as Megan suggested, then reply here with the ticket number.
