AFAIK no, the entry will just be appended to the file.

I guess you'd better use complete filenames "~/Tools/Org/Email". BTW,
the file were remember notes are stored should be an Org file, so it
makes sense to name it "~/Tools/Org/Email.org".

org-remember-apply-template make `org-remember-default-headline' and
`org-default-notes-file' buffer-local -- so you might need to restart
your config access the new value for these variables.

This mean that "~/Tools/Org/Email" was not understood as the file
location for your remember file.

Please

1. append an ".org" extension to your file
2. restart your config
3. test and report again
