Account Updating does not refresh account.json

[casperklein]

I don't now if that works as designed or if it's a bug.

Updating the email address of an account seems to work (see debug log).
But when I verify account.json file, the contact field is still empty.

Steps to reproduce

acme.sh --update-account --accountemail my@domain.com

Debug log

[Tue Oct 17 03:21:17 CEST 2017] response='{"id": 123456789,"key":{"kty":"RSA","n":"foo","e":"bar"},"contact":["mailto: my@domain.com"],"agreement":"https://letsencrypt.org/documents/LE-SA-v1.1.1-August-1-2016.pdf","initialIp":"x.x.x.x","createdAt":"2016-10-20T21:44:44Z","Status":"valid"}'

Verify account.json

Works, thank you!

The documentary should also be updated:

--accountemail Specifies the account email for registering, Only valid for the '--install' command.

to

--accountemail Specifies the account email for registering, Only valid for the '--install' and '--update-account' command.

Actual version (2.7.7) has the same problem. Please reopen bug.

I'm also seeing this too.

acme.sh --update-account --accountemail <email address> will update the email address on ~/.acme.sh/account.conf, but not in ~/.acme.sh/ca/acme-v01.api.letsencrypt.org/account.json.

The updated email address doesn't get expiry reminders, suggesting that the email address update isn't successfully completed.
