One approach would be to assign a unique identifier to the email
address, then include that identifier as a parameter in the link that
allows for image uploading: http://your.site.tld/avatar/upload/<unique_id>
(for eg)

Then the upload process can get the ID from the path and identify the
email address with which the image is associated.
