Learn German: Die Information stand in der E-Mail. - The information was in the email.

In German, written text is usually described as standing somewhere rather than just being there. When you want to say a fact was in the email, it is in the newspaper, or it says in the book, you use stehen (to stand). Here, stand is the simple past tense of stehen.

Isn't der for masculine words? Why does it say in der E-Mail?

E-Mail is actually a feminine noun (die E-Mail). The word in is a two-way preposition. Because the information is just resting in a fixed place (answering where?), we must use the dative case. In the dative case, the feminine die changes to der.
