By creating an index that maps email to nodes. You will need to use the
index-util component for this: http://components.neo4j.org/index-util/

I wrote a response to the very same question less than two hours ago:
http://lists.neo4j.org/pipermail/user/2009-May/001166.html
So I guess we _really_ need to improve our FAQ on the aspect of indexes.

Thank you Ivan for bringing this to our attention.
