Edit email address for sharepoint 2010 user

A user's Email Address is stored within a profile property. By default a user isn't allowed to change his or her own e-mail address. The email address (Work e-mail) and whether or not user's can change their own can be specified in the settings of the User Profile Service Application.
  1. (As an administrator) open Central Admin
  2. Under "Application Management"  click "Manage Service Applications"
  3. Locate and click the link "User Profile Service Application". If this one is not there you haven't created a User Profile Service Application yet.
  4. Under "People"  there are two relevant links here. The first is "Manage User Properties", the second is "Manage User Profiles"
  5. Under "Manage User Properties" you can specify the settings for the Work e-mail property (i.e. whether or not the user is allowed to edit his or her own e-mail address).
  6. Under "Manage User Profiles" you can locate a user's profile and edit the e-mail address from there
By default it could take up to one hour to "see" the new e-mail address througout all web applications bound to the user profile service application. A timer job is taking care of this and you could kick this one of to run manually once by going to "Check Job Status" screen in Central Admin (_admin/Timer.aspx). Here locate the job definition with the title "User Profile Service Application - User Profile to SharePoint Full Synchronization", open the "Edit Timer Job Page" by clicking on the Job's name and then click the "Run Now" button.
Hope this helps!
