I want an article with two columns and a title section, but without a separate title page. I have achieved that, but the author's email address is not showing as a footnote (tried using thanks and footnote). Here is my example

\documentclass[12pt, a4paper, twocolumn]{article}
\usepackage{lipsum}  
\usepackage[dvipsnames]{xcolor}
\usepackage[dvipdfm]{hyperref}

% redefine astract
\renewenvironment{abstract}
    {\par\noindent\textbf{\abstractname}\ \ignorespaces \}
    {\par\noindent\medskip}


% title, author, abstract
\title{\textbf{Some clear title}}
\author{Jane Doe\footnote{\href{mailto:jane.doe@bla.bla}{jane.doe@bla.bla}}}
%\author{Jane Doe\thanks{\href{mailto:jane.doe@bla.bla}{jane.doe@bla.bla}}}
\newcommand{\abstractText}{\noindent%
    \lipsum[1]
}


\begin{document}


% starting twocolumn environment, and defining a header text in the optional
% argument of \twocolumn, where the header text is written at top of the page
% in one column with the width of the whole page
\twocolumn[
    \begin{@twocolumnfalse}
        \maketitle
        {\color{gray}\hrule}
        \bigskip
        \begin{abstract}
            \abstractText
            \bigskip
            {\color{gray}\hrule}
            \bigskip
        \end{abstract}
    \end{@twocolumnfalse}
]


\section{Introduction}
\lipsum[2]


\section{Another section}
\lipsum[3]


\end{document}

Any hints on how to get the email address into the footnote is greatly appreciated.

The optional argument of \twocolumn is put into a box. So \footnote does not work. You can, e.g., use \footnotetext after the title:

\documentclass[12pt, a4paper, twocolumn]{article}
\usepackage{lipsum}  
\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage{hyperref}

% redefine astract
\renewenvironment{abstract}
    {\par\noindent\textbf{\abstractname}\ \ignorespaces \}
    {\par\noindent\medskip}


% title, author, abstract
\title{\textbf{Some clear title}}
\author{Jane Doe\footnotemark}
%\author{Jane Doe\thanks{\href{mailto:jane.doe@bla.bla}{jane.doe@bla.bla}}}
\newcommand{\abstractText}{\noindent%
    \lipsum[1]
}


\begin{document}


% starting twocolumn environment, and defining a header text in the optional
% argument of \twocolumn, where the header text is written at top of the page
% in one column with the width of the whole page
\twocolumn[
    \begin{@twocolumnfalse}
        \maketitle
        {\color{gray}\hrule}
        \bigskip
        \begin{abstract}
            \abstractText
            \bigskip
            {\color{gray}\hrule}
            \bigskip
        \end{abstract}
    \end{@twocolumnfalse}
    ]
{\renewcommand*{\thefootnote}{\fnsymbol{footnote}}\stepcounter{footnote}%
  \footnotetext{\href{mailto:jane.doe@bla.bla}{jane.doe@bla.bla}}}
\setcounter{footnote}{0}
\section{Introduction}
\lipsum[2]\footnote{a real footnote}


\section{Another section}
\lipsum[3]\footnote{another footnote}


\end{document}

This is indeed not really an automatic solution, but it works.

using \footnotemark and \footnotetext together with real footnotes

Another suggestion would be to use package authblk and then use \saythanks. See “\thanks not creating footnote in twocolumn article” for more information.
