The form at user/[uid]/edit should use an email form element.
It seems, according to #316886: hook_form_alter will not alter user-profile-form that a form_alter won't cut it here.
Haven't worked it out yet, mabe somebody else wil have a pointer.

Hi alanburke,

thanks for the feature request. The more the merrier :)

Regarding this issue, the form can be alter using hook_user (http://api.drupal.org/api/function/hook_user)

It'll look something like this (note I just threw this together, it will not work, the brackets should be check to make sure they're balance.The form array might be wrong, I'm sure there's something else in there and is not just 'mail'. But this should point you in the right direction :-) )

function hook_user($op, &$edit, &$account, $category = NULL) {
  if ($op == 'form' && $category == 'account') {
    $form['mail']['#type'] = 'emailfield';
    );
   return $form
}
