The german spelling of the english word email is "E-Mail", not "Email"
[1]. This spelling has been used in e.g. "Eine Email wurde an
EMAILADDRESS versandt".
BTW, Email in german means "enamel".

Hi Luke!
Thanks for your feedback about the German translation.
You are of course correct that "E-Mail" seems to be the official
spelling in Germany. Note that I personally still use "Email" because I
believe it is okay to form new words, especially when they are such a
good fit. And the Duden makers do not seem experts on elektronic things
anyway. They authorized "gedownloadet"

Anyway, I did not do the translation, nor do I have strong feeling here,
so feel free to prepare a patch against the po file?
Best Regards and thanks again for trying roundup,
Bernhard
