Personally I would remove the email regex completely.and simply use the native PHP filter_var

Me, too, but
filter_var (FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL) doesn't support dotless domains.
https://secure.php.net/manual/en/filter.filters.validate.php

E.g. in a local environment dotless domains are common.

so take the other option - remove all validation. Leave it to the user to make sure they type their own email address correctly. The internet wastes far too much time writing regex for emails and then updating them etc etc

I was looking to see what has changed since j3

In J3 all validation was done by validation.js (which did have the character count)

It looks to me that the removal of that script is exposing a lot of different errors and instead of them all being reported one at a time - everything that was tested with validation.js in J3 should be checked in J4. Otherwise we are just adding bandaids

@astridx thanks for your PR! Can you update the PR to solve the merge conflict? Thanks in advance :)

@sanderpotjer Done

@astridx thanks! With the merge this change is lost:

The url http://www.w3.org/TR/html-markup/input.email.html did not exist any more. The correct url is now https://www.w3.org/TR/html/sec-forms.html#email-state-typeemail

I'm not good at resolving conflicts. Is there any interest for this function? Then I would close this PR and open a new one.

@astridx l do think it is good to fix this :-) I've made a Pull Request against your PR on astridx#1 If you merge that, this PR should be fine :)

@sanderpotjer Thank you

I have tested this item ? unsuccessfully on 2b05a3f

When creating an user with an invalid email address (e.g. test@123abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwyz0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwyzzzz.org, label has length of 66), the warning is shown but the user is still saved.

I would extend the problem of PR a bit more. The problem also occurs when updating a user.

@eXsiLe95 Thank you for testing.
I just tested it myself again and you're right. The warning appears. The user is saved despite the warning.
Now I do not know how to continue. For my understanding, the user should not be saved if the RegX does not fit. And the RegX does not fit, because of the warning. The user was not saved when I created this PR. Is it possible that something else is wrong with the server-side validation?

@Schmidie64 You are right. I will do this, if this Pr is accepted :).

@Quy Can you advise what updates need to be made to this PR?

@Quy Why did you set the Label "Updates Requested"?

@astridx Per your comment #19300 (comment)

I just looked at this PR again. The behavior is now again as described in the test description. The user is not saved.

The PR can be tested again.
