Should be something like this, untested by myself:

function isValidEmail(emailAddress) {
    var re =
/^(([^<>()[\]\\.,;:\s@\"]+(\.[^<>()[\]\\.,;:\s@\"]+)*)|(\".+\"))@((\[[0-9]{1
,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\])|(([a-zA-Z\-0-9]+\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,})
)$/
    return re.test(emailAddress);
}

The first occurence when searching with google:
http://www.google.de/search?hl=de&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=regular+expression+ema
il+address&spell=1
