Hello Brideo and welcome to the SpanishDict forum

How do I say "This morning I sent you an e-mail"?

You can either say:

Esta mañana te envié un correo electrónico

o

Esta mañana te mandé un correo electrónico

You could reverse the word in the phrase and it would change the emphasis (but not the overall meaning) from this morning to I sent you an e-mail

Té envié (mandé) un correo electrónico esta mañana = I sent you an e-mail this morining.

Some people just say/use the word correo to mean e-mail which in the context of an actual e-mail is understood. eg Muchas gracias por tu correo.= Thank you very much for your e-mail.

However el correo = the post/mail but not e-mail...so it is important to undertand the distinction between the two...especially if you were wanting to complain about not having received your mail (post) rather than your e-mail

I hope this helps
