You are referring to:

( 1.2.840.113549.1.9.1 NAME ( 'email' 'emailAddress' 'pkcs9email' ) DESC 'RFC2459: legacy attribute for email addresses in DNs' EQUALITY caseIgnoreIA5Match SUBSTR caseIgnoreIA5SubstringsMatch SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.26{128} )

This was defined for e-mail attributes in X.509 certificates (PKIX standard). It's *not* widely used.

I believe "email" is very common attribute, why no objectclass
is using it ? where can I find a schema where one objectclass is using
"email" attribute.

This is the commonly used attribute type most times used with object class 'inetOrgPerson' (OID 2.16.840.1.113730.3.2.2):

( 0.9.2342.19200300.100.1.3 NAME ( 'mail' 'rfc822Mailbox' ) DESC 'RFC1274: RFC822 Mailbox' EQUALITY caseIgnoreIA5Match SUBSTR caseIgnoreIA5SubstringsMatch SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.26{256} )
