"I have sent you an email" vs "I have already sent you an email"

Both phrases are correct, but they convey slightly different meanings. 'I have sent you an email' simply states the action of sending an email, while 'I have already sent you an email' emphasizes that the action has been completed before a certain point in time. The choice between the two depends on whether you want to emphasize the completion of the action.
