Wow, there are a lot of answers that contain slightly different regular expressions. I've tried some many that I've got different results and a variety of different issues with all of them.

For UI validation, I'm good with the most basic check of looking for an @ sign. It's important to note, that I always do server-side validation with a standard "validate email" that contains a unique link for the user to confirm their email address.

if (email.indexOf('@') > 0)

I have purposely chosen 0 even with zero-based as it also ensures there is a single character before the @.
