I asked her for an email vs I asked her for an e-mail address

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in slightly different contexts. 'I asked her for an email' is more casual and can refer to the act of requesting an email message. On the other hand, 'I asked her for an e-mail address' is more formal and specific, referring to requesting the actual email contact information.
