email chain

This phrase is correct.

"Email chain" is a compound noun phrase. "Email" modifies "chain," indicating that the chain is specifically related to email messages. The phrase is commonly used to refer to a series of related emails that have been sent back and forth between multiple people.

Some examples from our editors:

A much more commonly used phrase would be "email thread."
  • A string identifying the author, for example in the form Name & lt; email addressgt;. This is currently used to set a Whatsthis string for the menu item, but may be used for more purposes in the future.
