Hi Ammenah,

As per your description I would suggest you to do user profile synchronization between  user information and Active directory. 

Please follow article for  profile synchronization : http://blog.sharedove.com/adisjugo/index.php/2012/07/23/setting-user-profile-synchronization-service-in-sharepoint-2013/

Also make sure that user profile service and other timer job related to user profile is up and running.

You can Update email ID from My sites in SharePoint itself but after profile synchronize these data gets override.

Hi,

As Siddheshwar's reply, please check if you configure the User Profile Service in SharePoint 2010 and execute user profile synchronization.

The following articles for your reference:
