You can't just remove email field. A lot of system properties connected to email on checkout, although using journal3 makes more complicated extraction of email.

You can see what fields you can turn on / switch of in Journal Quick Checkout:

Journal > Skins > Checkout

UPDATED

To disable Email only for guests in Journal 3 Quick Checkout:

Go to /catalog/view/theme/journal3/template/journal3/checkout/register.twig

Find

{# customer email #}

<div class="form-group required account-email">
  <label class="control-label" for="input-email">{{ entry_email }}</label>
  <input v-model="order_data.email" type="text" name="email" value="" placeholder="{{ entry_email }}" id="input-email" class="form-control"/>
  <span class="text-danger" v-if="error && error.email" v-html="error.email"></span>
</div>

Adding a check, like for password v-if="account === 'register'". New code is

{# customer email #}

<div v-if="account === 'register'" class="form-group required account-email">
  <label class="control-label" for="input-email">{{ entry_email }}</label>
  <input v-model="order_data.email" type="text" name="email" value="" placeholder="{{ entry_email }}" id="input-email" class="form-control"/>
  <span class="text-danger" v-if="error && error.email" v-html="error.email"></span>
</div>

Now go to /catalog/controller/journal3/checkout.php and find

    // email
    if ((utf8_strlen(Arr::get($this->request->post, 'order_data.email')) > 96) || !filter_var(Arr::get($this->request->post, 'order_data.email'), FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)) {
        $error['email'] = $this->language->get('error_email');
    } else if (($this->session->data['account'] === 'register') && $this->model_account_customer->getTotalCustomersByEmail(Arr::get($this->request->post, 'order_data.email'))) {
        $error['email'] = $this->language->get('error_exists');
    }

Replace with

    // email
    if ($this->session->data['account'] === 'register') {
        if ((utf8_strlen(Arr::get($this->request->post, 'order_data.email')) > 96) || !filter_var(Arr::get($this->request->post, 'order_data.email'), FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)) {
            $error['email'] = $this->language->get('error_email');
        } else if (($this->session->data['account'] === 'register') && $this->model_account_customer->getTotalCustomersByEmail(Arr::get($this->request->post, 'order_data.email'))) {
            $error['email'] = $this->language->get('error_exists');
        }
    }

thanks but anyway to make it not required . my clients most of them have't email — Ahmed Mohsen, Jul 27 '20 at 09:31
Sorry for my laziness on the first try. Updated the answer. Now it's works like your whant. — focus.style, Jul 27 '20 at 14:33
Have you reload Journal 3 caches? There is a button on any Journal page in admin. Although clear twig/system cache from a dashboard. I have tested my solution and it works — focus.style, Aug 01 '20 at 07:15
yes sir i'v changed the both codes above and clear cash but still appear in guest — Ahmed Mohsen, Aug 02 '20 at 02:06
Yes. Only on client side. Without any passwords. Just want to see something — focus.style, Aug 06 '20 at 05:40

Additional to the emntioned 3 steps you have to fix the sendmail funtion. One way is mentioned here in 2 more steps:

File: system/library/mail.php Change:

$this->to = $to;

To:

 if ($to != '') {$this->to = $to;} else { $this->to = 'web-and-seo@itech.bg';}

Change web-and-seo@itech.bg to an e-mail that you will receive the confirmation instead of the customer.

Then remove the * from the mail field on checkout page

File: catalog/view/theme/journal3/template/journal3/checkout/register.twig Change:

<div class="form-group required account-email">

To:

<div class="form-group account-email">

Good luck.
