Here s the reasonable solution   quot THE REASONABLE SOLUTION quot  Used and tested for years in many huge volume apps  1 - it avoids the horrific regex mistakes often seen in example code 2 - it does NOT allow ridiculous emails such as  quot x x quot   If for some reason you need a solution that allows nonsense strings such as  x x   use another solution   3 - the code is extremely understandable 4 - it is KISS  reliable  and tested to destruction on commercial apps with enormous numbers of users 5 - the predicate is a global  as Apple says it must be let   firstpart    quot  A-Z0-9a-z   A-Z0-9a-z    -  0 30  A-Z0-9a-z    quot  let   serverpart    quot   A-Z0-9a-z   A-Z0-9a-z-  0 30  A-Z0-9a-z        1 5  quot  let   emailRegex     firstpart    quot   quot      serverpart    quot  A-Za-z  2 8  quot  let   emailPredicate   NSPredicate format   quot SELF MATCHES    quot     emailRegex   extension String       func isEmail   - gt  Bool           return   emailPredicate evaluate with  self           extension UITextField       func isEmail   - gt  Bool           return self text  isEmail            It s that easy  Explanation for anyone new to regex  In this description   quot OC quot  means ordinary character - a letter or a digit    firstpart     has to start and end with an OC  For the characters in the middle you can have certain characters such as underscore  but the start and end have to be an OC    However  it s ok to have only one OC and that s it  for example  j blah com    serverpart     You have sections like  quot blah  quot  which repeat   Example  mail city fcu edu   The sections have to start and end with an OC  but in the middle you can also have a dash  quot - quot   It s OK to have a section which is just one OC   Example  w campus edu   You can have up to five sections  you have to have one   Finally the TLD  such as  com  is strictly 2 to 8 in size    Obviously  just change the  quot 8 quot  as preferred by your support department    IMPORTANT   You must keep the predicate as a global  do not build it every time  Note that this is the first thing Apple mentions about the whole issue in the docs  Suggestions which do not cache the predicate are non-starters   And some style  This solution has been used by 10s of millions of users in 100s of apps and is in the toolkit of dozens of freelance teams  There are now many variations of it  Please also enjoy the answer of  AlejandroIv  n down below

For anyone who is still looking for an answer to this  please have a look at the following framework   ATGValidator  It is a rule based validation framework  which handles most of the validations out of box  And top it all  it has form validator which supports validation of multiple textfields at the same time   For validating an email string  use the following    abcd hhs some com  satisfyAll rules   StringRegexRule email   status   If you want to validate an email from textfield  try below code   textfield validationRules    StringRegexRule email  textfield validationHandler     result in        This block will be executed with relevant result whenever validation is done      print result status  result errors       Below line is to manually trigger validation  textfield validateTextField     If you want to validate it while typing in textfield or when focus is changed to another field  add one of the following lines   textfield validateOnInputChange true     or textfield validateOnFocusLoss true    Please check the readme file at the link for more use cases

Here is a very simple way available in current Swiftmailer  Most of the other answers are old and reinvent the wheel   As per Swiftmailer documentation  https   swiftmailer symfony com docs messages html quick-reference  use Egulias EmailValidator EmailValidator  use Egulias EmailValidator Validation RFCValidation    validator   new EmailValidator     validator- gt isValid  example example com   new RFCValidation       true   This is by far the simplest and most robust approach  imo  Just install via Composer the Egulias EmailValidator library which should already be brought in as a dependency of SwiftMailer anyway

I improved  Azik answer  I allow more special characters which are allowed by guidelines  as well as return a few extra edge cases as invalid   The group think going on here to only allow     - in the local part is not correct per guidelines  See  Anton Gogolev answer on this question or see below      The local-part of the email address may use any of these ASCII   characters          uppercase and lowercase Latin letters A to Z and a to z    digits 0 to 9     special characters      amp    -               dot    provided that it is not the first or last character unless quoted  and provided also that it does not appear consecutively unless quoted  e g    John  Doe example com is not allowed but  John  Doe  example com is   allowed      space and        lt  gt      characters are allowed with   restrictions  they are only allowed inside a quoted string  as   described in the paragraph below  and in addition  a backslash or   double-quote must be preceded by a backslash      comments are allowed   with parentheses at either end of the local-part  e g    john smith comment  example com and  comment john smith example com   are both equivalent to john smith example com       The code I use will not allow restricted out of place special characters  but will allow many more options than the majority of answers here  I would prefer more relaxed validation to error on the side of caution   if enteredText contains          enteredText contains              enteredText hasPrefix         enteredText hasSuffix   con           return false    let emailFormat     A-Z0-9a-z      amp    -              A-Za-z0-9 -      A-Za-z  2 64   let emailPredicate   NSPredicate format  SELF MATCHES      emailFormat       return emailPredicate evaluate with  enteredText
