File: connect/latest/adminguide/email-capabilities.md

Summary

Renamed 'Amazon Connect Email' to 'Connect Customer Email' throughout the document and updated all related references to match the new branding. The technical functionality and integration with Amazon SES remains unchanged.

Security assessment

The changes are purely branding/naming updates without any modifications to security mechanisms, vulnerabilities, or security features. The existing security integrations with Amazon SES (spam/virus scanning, delivery monitoring) remain documented but unchanged.
