Can anyone show me how I can configure the input mask for e-mail fieldso that
we can enter e-mail addresses?

I tried a<????????\@a<???????????."com"

and wrote (e-mail address removed), the result keeps coming up as

(e-mail address removed)
 
Input masks are not nearly powerful enough to handle something as varied as
an e-mail address

Masks are evil when they work and they simply cannot be applied to an Email
address because they do not have a consistent enough structure. The only
thing you can say about an Email address is it must contain at least one dot
and have exactly one @.

What were you hoping the mask would accomplish, the saving of 2 keystrokes?
What about .net, .org, and the other domains? To account for them you now
have a mask that eliminates typing the @.
