Wow, there are lots of complexity here. If all you want to do is just catch the most obvious syntax errors, I would do something like this:

^\S+@\S+$

It usually catches the most obvious errors that the user makes and assures that the form is mostly right, which is what JavaScript validation is all about.

EDIT: We can also check for '.' in the email using

/^\S+@\S+\.\S+$/

add start and end checks since otherwise, the pattern is pretty useless in most use cases that I can think of. And it's going to confuse most people I think.
