How to change user principal name on Azure AD

I'm trying to change the user principal name on my Azure AD user using a PowerShell command Set-MsolUserPrincipalName that I found in the Microsoft documentation here. This works fine and changes the user principal name, but it also changes the email property to the same value as well.

Example command:

Set-MsolUserPrincipalName -UserPrincipalName "davidc@contoso.com" -NewUserPrincipalName "davidchew@contoso.com"

Is there another way to change the user principal name without affecting the email of the user?

There is no way to change the user principal name without affecting the email of the user. The mail property is read-only, and the principal name should map to the user's email name.
