Description

Expected behavior

The email displayed on Help & Support screen should be the same when editing it.

Actual behavior

The email displayed on Help & Support screen is NOT the same when editing it.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1 - Install JP
2 - Sign in with account A using saved login
3 - Navigate to Me -> Help & Support
4 - Log out
5 - Sign in with account B using saved login
6 - Navigate to Me -> Help & Support. Observe the value in the email field.
7 - Now tap on it: the value being edited is different than the one observed on step 6.

I'm not sure if the previously logged in account email should be kept or not in this flow, but it seems like we should be showing the same email on steps 6 and 7.

Tested on iPhone SE (3rd gen), iOS 15.4, Jetpack iOS 23.8

Research direction

Start by reproducing the Help & Support flow on iOS: switch from account A to account B and compare the displayed email with the value shown when the field is edited. Trace how the Me > Help & Support screen gets its email after logout and sign-in. Done means the displayed and editable email values match, with the intended account behavior confirmed.
