You can try a REGEX validation rule

REGEX({!Email_Address},"[a-zA-Z0-9._%+-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+\\.[a-zA-Z]{2,4}")

Please Try This Validation Rule For Email Validation:

NOT(REGEX( Email_Id__c ,"[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+@[a-zA-Z]+.[a-zA-Z]{2,4}"))


Thanks

Does anyone have any updates to this as we have found a couple of scenarios that are not exluded by this validation, but get kicked back when trying to write into an Email field in SF...  one of those scenarios is someone that enters in ".."   as in email@yahoo..com  or any email address that includes a "," comma

{2,4}-after .(dot) domain name should be minium 2 letter and maximum 4 letter such as .com, .arpa

Hi all, 

I would suggest removing the 2,4 part because it's possible to come across a longer Top Level Domain name. Have a look at all the possible TLDs here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Internet_top-level_domains  

Also please make sure you allow the plus symbol. I regularly use this to label Gmail messages, but a lot of forms deny it. :)
