What is email validation?
Email validation checks whether an address follows common syntax rules for the local part, @ sign, domain labels, and top-level domain. It is useful for quick form QA, sample-data cleanup, and catching obvious typos before submission.
What this validator checks
- One
@separating the local part and domain - Total length, local-part length, and domain length limits
- Allowed characters, dot placement, hyphen rules, and TLD structure
- A normalized result with the domain lowercased for comparison
Examples
- Valid:
name@example.com - Valid:
first.last+news@example.co.uk - Invalid:
name..dots@example.com - Invalid:
user@-example.com
Internationalized domains should be entered in Punycode ASCII form, such as user@xn--bcher-kva.example.
What this tool does not check
- Whether the mailbox exists or can receive mail
- DNS, MX, SMTP, or disposable-provider checks
- Whether a website will accept the address under its own business rules
