I contacted help desk who said there is a known bug in updating/correcting an email address in a specific contact. They offered the below workaround, but I still can't figure out how to do or what the below means.
I keep getting error message "This email address already exists in your account." (which isn't the case)
From online chat w/help desk:
While we work on an overall fix, we have the following solution to offer you in the meantime, you can try this workaround.
Hello @DanitaK ,
Which part are you having trouble with? In all honesty, the easiest method would be to simply upload the new email address as a fresh, new contact, with the accompanying contact info associated via the type/paste multiple or file upload methods. Make sure the "new" contact is being added to the appropriate lists during the upload.
