Confirm PayPal sandbox account email

Same question as this: Paypal sandbox account email confirmation but it was not so easily resolved for me.

I can't confirm my sandbox email address, it says an email would be sent to my email address (which it wasn't) and I read elsewhere that it should be found in the "Test Emails" section at developer.paypal.com. I'm looking at this page (updated link) and it's not there either.

Can someone point me to the correct place to find this confirmation email?

The reason I need to confirm my email address is I'm getting this error when trying to make a test payment to the sandboxed merchant account with a sandboxed personal account: 

Rapids::Exception (N6Rapids5Tools13PimpExceptionE): Pimp RC: 3514

Apparently verifying the merchant email address fixes this.

Turns out the answer was not to try manually create a sandbox account on the sandbox website, but to automatically create one at developer.paypal.com > Applications > Sandbox Accounts. This was much quicker and easier to do too!

If you're using Adapative Accounts API to create account (in the first place), put confirmEmail as TRUE in createAccountWebOptions (for registrationType = Web).. this way you wouldn't have headache of email confirmation, for new accounts.

On Developer site is section Dashboard then Sandbox notifications - there are emails and sms from sandbox account, and also it catches confirmation emails which should go to your email...

I found it after one day of looking what's happend with email confirmations -.- .
