Is this correct to express my appreciation?
If some one did something to try to help me, even it's just a small effort and it turned out nothing really help. But I think it's very nice, so I am going to send a email to express my appreciation. Is that correct and polite if I say: "Thank you for your effort" in this mail?

Hi, that is so nice of you to thank people who try to help (even if they did not end up helping much! :^) )
There is nothing wrong with what you propose, but it almost makes it clear that you think that the person did not do much for you except "provide effort."
How about "Thank you very much for the time you took to help me. I really appreciate your kind gesture."

You could say.
Thank you very much for your help.
Thanks for helping.
I appreciate your help.
All would work.
