Check your e-mail.

✓ Correct

Check your email. (Both valid; solid form is now preferred.)

Both OK; solid EMAIL is now standard.

E-MAIL with a hyphen was standard through the 2000s. AP dropped it in 2011; major stylebooks followed. EMAIL is now the default. The hyphen survives only in very formal writing.
