        {
            UserManager userManager = UserManager.GetManager();
            UserProfileManager profileManager = UserProfileManager.GetManager();

            User user = userManager.GetUsers().Where(u => u.UserName == username).SingleOrDefault();

            if (user != null)
            {
                user.Email = newEmail;
