I received an email vs I have received an email

These are both correct phrases, however, they are not used in the same contexts. 'I received an email' is used to talk about a specific past event, while 'I have received an email' is used to indicate a recent action with relevance to the present. The choice between them depends on the context and the emphasis the speaker wants to convey.
