        List<Case> updateCases=new List<Case>();
        
        for(Case newCase:cs){
            if(newCase.Profile_received_from_Email__c!=null){
                emailField = newCase.Profile_received_from_Email__c;
                system.debug('The email field is'+emailField);
            }
        }
        
        Contact con=[select accountId,Id,email from Contact where email=:emailField];
        
        if(con!=null && con.accountId!=null){
            
            for(Case cse:cs){
                cse.contactId=con.id;
                cse.accountId=con.accountId;

Error: Invalid Data. 
Review all error messages below to correct your data.
Apex trigger caseTrigger caused an unexpected exception, contact your administrator: caseTrigger: execution of BeforeUpdate caused by: System.QueryException: List has no rows for assignment to SObject: Class.UpdateContactName.methodTopopulateContact: line 15, column 1.

when im giving email, its updating contact name, but when the field is empty. it throwing the error as above.

Obviously, because the query is not returning any Contact record since it did not find matching one. That's the reason I asked what should be done when there is no matching record found.

For your error, you can have a IF condition to check if the emailField is not null, then perform the query.

Further, I still don't understand what should happen if there are multiple contacts found for the email ID. If you want only one, you can try using the LIMIT in your SOQL query.
