InfoPath is a great tool for input, but one of the great futures is
the fact of using data validation in an easy way

An question that comes back in many InfoPath Form is how to be sure
that the email address entered by the user is in a correct format?

The step by step guide can be found on:

The pattern you specified ([a-z]+@[a-z]+\.[a-z]+) doesn't support
numbers. That would leave out *many* free webmail users
(use...@freewebmailservice.com).

Hi Antony

You éade a good point, you need to use the pattern [a-z0-9]+@[a-z0-9]+
\.[a-z]+
This will solve your issue.
