Thanks

Could you try with this regex:
([\\w-+]+(?:\\.[\\w-+]+)*@(?:[\\w-]+\\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,7})
Anyway, I suggested this site: TXT2RE

That site looks really awesome! Worth an upvote. I'm not sure how well it'd do in keeping in mind special characters that aren't in the default teststring, though.
Not completely correct but the following regex mostly works:
[A-Z0-9._%+-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+\.[A-Z]{2,4}
with case insensitive option

That
{2,4} should be {2,6} (Don't leave out .MUSEUM and .TRAVEL!Actually, your regex can be simpler. Split(explode) on the string using whitepace, go through each item, and check of "@". Then remove all < and >.

I think this should work:
/(^|\s)<?([a-zA-Z0-9._-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9]+\.[a-zA-Z.]{2,6})>?(\n|\r|\s|$)/

If you do not necessarily need a regular expression, you could use imap_rfc822_parse_adrlist or mailparse_rfc822_parse_addresses to get both the address and the name.
