Can you clarify what you're after here, and why? As I mentioned already, the thread linked above contains a non-Regex solution I posted here *years* ago, but there's no good reason to not use the Regex plugin IMHO.

Why wouldn't you want to use RegEx? The (very very) old thread Vikash already linked for you will contain my (very very) old-but-still-working OOB expression rule that handles basic email address validation, however the Regex solution is quite a bit more powerful.

Key things to look for are @ symbol, then a dot, then a 3 letter extension for a url, such as com, edu, gov, biz, net, co.uk, however many you want to define.

right(local!possibleEmail, 4) returns the last four characters. That should be in a whitelist containing .com, .gov, .edu, etc.

Then you can find() or search() for @.

There should be other rules to include, such as no spaces. So you can exact(local!possibleEmail, cleanwith(local!possibleEmail, " ")
