Because Catalan uses the present subjunctive for negative commands.
So:
- Envia el correu. = Send the email.
- No enviïs el correu. = Don’t send the email.
For tu, the affirmative command is usually the imperative form (envia), but the negative command switches to the subjunctive (enviïs).
Enviïs is the 2nd person singular present subjunctive form of enviar (to send).
In this sentence, it is being used as a negative command addressed to tu:
- No enviïs = Don’t send
