You can't do that with the name either.
If you change the name and then go to the QSL panel your change isn't
picked up - unless you log the change.
The data in the QSL card fields comes from the lookup.

The email field works exactly the same as the name field.

It's not necessary - just another option.
You can also edit the fields on the fly in the QSL panel - just log the
QSO with your changes.
If you log a call with changes to either the name or the email address
- those changes will be picked up when you double click on a log entry
to send a QSL card at a later time.
This is the way people use the software - they log a call after a
lookup - and with possible changes - and send the QSL card sometime
later - after a lookup that picks up any changes they made to either
the name or the email address - or any other field for that matter.
I really don't see how it could be much easier ?
