This code only deals with an email address, and not any actual email message content. There is nothing here that can be converted into JSON.
Even if you had a message, you would need to define a specific schema for converting email content into JSON. Typical email message contents do not have a structure that would naturally be convertible into keyword/value pairs as required for JSON.
Also, web page code is "sandboxed" by the browser and prohibited from creating or writing to files as a security measure.

var form = document.getElementById("myform");
form.onsubmit = function(evt){
evt.preventDefault();
console.log(form.myemail.value);
};

242,191 PointsSimilar to the HTML, this code only deals with an email address, and not any actual email message content. Do you want to save just the address? And you still need a key/value pair to convert it to JSON.
Perhaps more importantly, this code seems to be intended for a web page. Web page code is "sandboxed" by the browser and prohibited from creating or writing to files.

9,195 PointsI was asking for this just to save the e-mail in console:
var form = document.getElementById("myform");
form.onsubmit = function(evt){
evt.preventDefault();
console.log(form.myemail.value);
var jobj={email: form.myemail.value}; //JSON object
console.log(JSON.stringify(jobj));
};
