What Wikipedia says

An email address identifies a mailbox to which email messages are delivered. While early messaging systems used a variety of address formats, email addresses today follow a specific set of rules originally standardized by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) in the 1980s, and updated by RFC 5322 and 6854.
