I was about to ruin your day by finding a valid email address that would be rejected by your regex, but it doesn't even parse correctly on regex101.com

The only valid regex for email is .+@.+ btw

What about "user@not_domain"? It validates but isn't valid - there's no domain part, the @ is quoted

That's not something you can determine using a regex.

"user@com" for example could be a perfectly working email.

The right way is to send a verification email in every case.

Does this regex include

"very.(),:;<>[]\".VERY.\"very@\\ \"very\".unusual"@strange.example.com
