  It depends on how complex you want to make it... do you just want to make sure that the address contains *@*.*?

  "OMG ALL MY DATA IS GONE"
  "Show All..."
  "Oh..."

  The mailadressformat is wrong or the address not exist :?:
  
  If the format is wrong, u must only check if there is a "@" and before the @ are letters (the local part) and after the @ are letters (the domain part). Both parts are split by the @.
  
  The local part could only have letters or numbers and some chars like: A-Za-z0-9.!#$%&'*+-/=?^_`{|}~ (so here you can check the local part).
  
  For the second part, the domain part exist also rules (see Domain Name System [DNS]). so check if after the @ is an "." (dot) and after the dot min. 2-4 letters. Then it could be an correct mailaddress (format)
  
  EDIT
  if you need mor infos:
  
  The whole definition of a EMail Addressformat you can read in "RFC 2822, 2606 2821" and some others.
  
  Regards

  Do you make it right, it works too!
