I also am a happy owner of a Treo 750.
In my experience with this phone, you can't exactly remove the E-mail link off all together, but you can 'add' a function to that left soft key.
All you need is a reg edit program, and....
Go to "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\11 2
For Default data change the text of the left soft key. For example I changed mine to Messaging.
Change Open Data to the exact location of a program link.
For example if you want to change it to the messaging program you would change it to "\Windows\tmail.exe" Note that the quotes must be included.
When you have everything set with the name and file location....exit and soft-reboot your phone. Now, when you click the left soft key, it should come up with the program link that you wanted with the email link next to it.
It's still there, but at least you can use it for something else as well.
Hope that this is useful to you and good luck...=)
