Guys this just validates structure of the email address not that it works, this is good practise.

This will only check if this is an email.

xyz@abc.museum is a valid e-Mail address not matched by this regex. {2,6} should do the trick.

You cannot verify an email address using a regular expression. It's OK to use a script like this to warn a user that they may have entered their email address incorrectly.

The only practical way to verify an email address is too send them an actual email.
