IsEmail Function:

The IsEmail function performs a thorough check of an entered email address. The following criteria is checked by IsEmail:
   • only one @ sign permitted
   • domain extension separator (.) must come after the @ symbol
   • must be at least 2 characters (letters) after the domain extension separator (.)
   • rejects all illegal characters including spaces.
   • Allows only numbers, letters, the underscore (_) and the dash (-) character as valid input
     (excluding the mandatory "@" and "." symbols).
   • Minimum of 6 characters

IsEmail returns True if an email address is validated successfully, otherwise False is returned. If an error is encountered when processing an email address, IsEmail returns False.

Syntax:
boolean = IsEmail(mailaddress)
