Email is admissible evidence. It will be checked and questioned like any other and so its strength will depend upon the whole chain of events, admissions and denials etc. ideally, it should be on the company's domain/ registered email ids for consumer complaints.

Yes it is admissible subject to the conditions of the section 65B of IE Act.  You may discuss with your lawyer and go ahead with the evidence.

E-mail  is a documentary evidence and documentary evidence is admissible according to Evidence Act.
