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

These two phrases are not directly comparable as they serve different purposes. 'I have' is a standalone phrase indicating possession or existence, while 'I have sent you an email' is a complete sentence indicating an action performed. If you want to express possession or existence, 'I have' is correct. If you want to convey that you have performed an action, 'I have sent you an email' is the appropriate choice.
