        Margin="170,203,0,338" Width="258">
    <TextBox.Template>
        <ControlTemplate TargetType="TextBox">
            <Border Background="{TemplateBinding Background}"
                BorderBrush="LightSeaGreen"
                BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}"
                CornerRadius="5">

    You are missing a control to actually “host” your text, by default this is a ScrollViewer, so something like this should do the trick:

    <TextBox IsEnabled="True" Name="txtemailVal" Height="46" BorderThickness="2" BorderBrush="Black" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="170,203,0,338" Width="258">
    <TextBox.Template>
        <ControlTemplate TargetType="TextBox">
            <Border Background="{TemplateBinding Background}"
                    BorderBrush="LightSeaGreen" 
                    BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}" 
                    CornerRadius="5">
                <ScrollViewer Margin="0" x:Name="ContentElement" />
            </Border>
        </ControlTemplate>
    </TextBox.Template>
    <TextBox.InputScope>
        <InputScope>
            <InputScopeName NameValue="EmailUserName"/>
        </InputScope>
    </TextBox.InputScope>
</TextBox>

    Notice that the ScrollViewer is called ContentElement. This is a “named part” and is documented in the MSDN article on TextBox stlyes and templates for Silverlight as being the element where the text is displayed. Other controls have named parts, too, so if you’re customizing several controls, I suggest you take a look at the other articles too.
