You could use org.apache.commons.validator.EmailValidator which is part of Apache Commons Validator.

Or use a Jsr-303 validation framework (e.g. Hibernate Validator) which offers a @Email validator.

EmailValidator also gives you the option of excluding local email addresses so that the top level domain must be present, which was a requirement for me. – leojh Jan 30 '14 at 19:28

Use this code.

static Pattern emailPattern = Pattern.compile("[a-zA-Z0-9[!#$%&'()*+,/\\-_\\.\"]]+@[a-zA-Z0-9[!#$%&'()*+,/\\-_\"]]+\\.[a-zA-Z0-9[!#$%&'()*+,/\\-_\"\\.]]+");
public static boolean isValidEmail(String email) 
{       
    Matcher m = emailPattern.matcher(email);
        return !m.matches();
}
