"Mail" tends to be used as a collective noun.

It would be better to say either "you got mail" or (if you want to emphasize that there was only one item in the mail) "you got a piece of mail." If you said "I got a mail" out loud (rather than in writing), most people would assume you meant you got a man ("male").

However, "you got an email" seems to an accepted way of saying you received an message electronically, although a purist might prefer "you got an email message."
