Basic Formatting Rules
Your email address must follow the standard username@domain.com structure:
Total Length: Must be 100 characters or fewer in total.
Username (Local Part): Up to 64 characters before the
@symbol. Letters, numbers, and standard characters like dots (.), underscores (_), plus signs (+), and hyphens (-) are permitted.Domain Name: The section after the
@symbol (e.g.,company.com) should not exceed 35 characters considering the 100 characters limit.Formatting Rules: Consecutive dots (e.g.,
name..user@domain.com) are not allowed, and the address must end with a valid domain extension like.comor.org.
Examples

Invalid | alex..smith@company.com | Contains consecutive dots. |
Invalid | alex@company | Missing a domain extension (e.g., .com). |

Frequently Asked Questions
- Why is my email address being rejected?
- If your email address is formatted correctly but is still rejected, it likely exceeds our 100-character limit or the Username exceeds 64 character limit. Our platform caps addresses at 100 characters to maintain optimal system performance and account security.
- What should I do if my email address is too long?
- Try using a shorter email alias, an alternative address, or ask your IT administrator to set up a shorter handle for your account.
