Certbot is probably not saving my email

Hi. I'm trying to save my email to the letsencrypt account via certbot, but it's failing to do that.
I ran sudo certbot update_account. and at the end of the prompt, it says Your e-mail address was updated to mail@domain.com

running show_account afterwards shows:

sudo certbot show_account
Saving debug log to /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log
Account details for server https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory:
  Account URL: https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/acme/acct/[accnumber]
  Email contact: none

I've read the regr.json file and it's:

{"body": {}, "uri": "https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/acme/acct/[accnumber]"}

no email there.

I've tried unregistering and re-registering. didn't help either.

That's correct, it isn't. Is that a problem?

How? I try to set my email address, and email contact stays none.

You don't. Let's Encrypt is no longer storing email addresses with subscriber accounts. See also:

Lots of ways, including the service linked in the announcement I shared.
