We are in the same boat with [removed per the Dropbox Community Guidelines] except we can still access the email it's just that Dropbox is not generating any email codes. PLEASE HELP US Nancy or Larry or anyone from Dropbox.

Hey helpRootCandles, sorry to hear about this.
Can you please add no-reply@dropbox.com to your email contacts and try again to see if that helps?
If you haven't already, make sure to check your spam folder as well.

Let me know!
