Answer 1

you are using https in your base address, but your binding is basicHttpBinding. Looking at your config I am assuming you are planning to use certificates. I would recommend that you change your binding to WSHttpBinding
<endpoint address="test" binding="wsHttpBinding" contract="WW.Common.Service.Contract.IEmailService"/>
Alternately, if you want to use http only. change the base address to http as shown below. Note, I have also removed the binding configuration from your code
<service name="WW.Common.Service.Impl.EmailService">
<host>
<baseAddresses>
<add baseAddress = "http://localhost:8270/Design_Time_Addresses/TestWcfEmailServiceLibrary/EmailService/" />
</baseAddresses>
</host>
<endpoint address="EmailService" binding="basicHttpBinding" contract="WW.Common.Service.Contract.IEmailService" />
<endpoint address="mex" binding="basicHttpBinding"
name="mexEndpoint" contract="IMetadataExchange" />
</service>
I will also recommend that you read up on WCF bindings
