According to the MS Manual of Style (as one resource) it is:

"Okay to use to refer to an electronic mail program, as in "check your
e-mail for messages," but use e-mail messages, or just messages or
notes, to refer to pieces of e-mail. Do not use e-mails.

Avoid as a verb, as in "e-mail the file." Instead use send or send in
e-mail.
Maintain the hyphenation to show the meaning of "electronic mail." Use
E-mail at the beginning of a sentence and in headings."
