My Paypal dev account says my email isn't verified even though it is. Some said to check the notifications box but it's empty. I can't set up live API apps.

Good day @Pupsonian,
Thank you for your post and welcome to the Community Forum.
When you create your developer account, PayPal does a verification check by sending an email to the address you specified.
Enable your account by responding to PayPal's email. If you don't receive the verification email within a few minutes after signing up, check to see that it hasn't been blocked or diverted to a spam folder.

To get verified, go to your account to add and confirm your bank account or, if you prefer, add and confirm your debit or credit card.
If your still facing the issue, Please contact our PayPal Customer service via link - https://www.paypal.com/us/smarthelp/home (then choose at the bottom one of the contact methods - email or phone).
They will be able to assist you further as they are specially trained to address this type of account inquiry.
Sincerely,
Chiranjeevi
PayPal/Braintree MTS
