The D7 doesn't do email, it does APRS. To be obnoxiously precise, you
can't.
You _can_ have some program running on an internet attached computer
that watches the APRS-IS data stream for your gated position reports
and have it send email for you.
You can send an APRS _message_ that's gated to email, but you would
have to enter your position as part of the message text. And it's a
manual process.
I can't remember what the maximum TX interval on the D7 is, but I'm
pretty sure it's less that 12 hours, so if you wanted to limit it to
once or twice a day you'd have to beacon manually.
