Are there any major differences between the PrimarySmtpAddress and WindowsEmailAddress
member properties of the get-mailbox cmdlet?
I noticed that when I issue the following, PrimarySmtpAddress and WindowsEmailAddress
shows the same email address:

get-mailbox | select name,PrimarySmtpAddress,WindowsEmailAddress


Is there anything to be aware of when updating each one separately?

Yes. Don't update the "mail" property. Update the multi-valued
proxyAddresses (PrimarySmtpAddress). The cmdlet should be smart enough
to modify the "mail" (WindowsEmailAddress) property with the new
primary proxy address.
