I am using the following code and everything in the user profile is updating except the user's email.

In the template:

global $current_user, $wp_roles;
get_currentuserinfo();

/* Load the registration file. */
require_once( ABSPATH . WPINC . '/registration.php' );

/* If profile was saved, update profile. */
if ( 'POST' == $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']  !empty( $_POST['action'] )  $_POST['action'] == 'update-user' ) {

        /* Update user password. */
        if ( !empty($_POST['pass1'] )  !empty( $_POST['pass2'] ) ) {
                if ( $_POST['pass1'] == $_POST['pass2'] )
                        wp_update_user( array( 'ID' = $current_user-id, 'user_pass' = esc_attr( $_POST['pass1'] ) ) );
                else
                        wp_redirect( get_permalink() . '?error' );
                exit;
        }

        /* Update user information. */
        if ( !empty( $_POST['first_name'] ) )
                update_user_meta( $current_user-id, 'first_name', esc_attr( $_POST['first_name'] ) );
        if ( !empty( $_POST['last_name'] ) )
                update_user_meta($current_user-id, 'last_name', esc_attr( $_POST['last_name'] ) );
        if ( !empty( $_POST['user_email'] ) )
                update_user_meta($current_user-id, 'user_email', esc_attr( $_POST['user_email'] ) );
        if ( !empty( $_POST['cell_phone'] ) )
                update_user_meta( $current_user-id, 'cell_phone', esc_attr( $_POST['cell_phone'] ) );
        if ( !empty( $_POST['mailing_address'] ) )
                update_user_meta( $current_user-id, 'mailing_address', esc_attr( $_POST['mailing_address'] ) );
        if ( !empty( $_POST['description'] ) )
                update_user_meta( $current_user-id, 'description', esc_attr( $_POST['description'] ) );


             /* Redirect so the page will show updated info. */
    if ( !$error ) {
        wp_redirect( get_permalink() . '?success' );
    }
        else {
            wp_redirect( get_permalink() . '?error' );
        }
        exit;
    }


get_header(); ?

And in the page:

?php if (stripos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'],'?success') !== false) { // THIS IS THE BEGINNING ?
    div class="alert alert-success" align="center"Your profile was updated successfully./div
?php } ?
?php if (stripos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'],'?error') !== false) { // THIS IS THE BEGINNING ?
    div class="alert alert-danger" align="center"Hmm, something went wrong and your profile was not updated./div
?php } ?

If you plan to use this code on frontend, I would check if email is free to use. Otherwise, you are creating a security hole.

if (isset( $_POST['email'])) {
    // check if user is really updating the value
    if ($user_email != $_POST['email']) {       
        // check if email is free to use
        if (email_exists( $_POST['email'] )){
            // Email exists, do not update value.
            // Maybe output a warning.
        } else {
            $args = array(
                'ID'         => $current_user->id,
                'user_email' => esc_attr( $_POST['email'] )
            );            
        wp_update_user( $args );
       }   
   }
}

You need to use wp_update_user() for the email, as it is not user-meta but core user data. The code should look something like this:

$args = array(
    'ID'         => $current_user->id,
    'user_email' => esc_attr( $_POST['user_email'] )
);
wp_update_user( $args );

Note: that's untested, but it should work out of the box.
