I had some trouble with this issue as well, but I don’t have good enough data to figure out what went wrong. We changed the user’s email at the source. I gave her a link to log out of Discourse (which also logs her out of the source system), just in case, and a link to login again in at the source using the new email.

She told me that she followed my instructions (and she did, from what I could tell based on her activity on Discourse), but her email address remained unchanged on Discourse. A few days later I checked Discourse again it was changed. I don’t know what caused the delay. Is there some cache I should clean when I know users have changed their emails?
