yes a email is an admissible document provided proved like any other record.
electronic documents are covered in the definition of Document in Evidence Act.

Opinion of MR. Kiran is absolutely correct.
yes e-mail being an electronic record after duly verified by a government agency u/s 79 A of the IT act would be admissible evidence under law which can be seen u/s 45 A of the evidence act.
