If you want to get all emails from text, you can try this:

List<string> foundMails = new List<string>();
string regex = "[a-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+(?:\\.[a-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+)*@(?:[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?\\.)+[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?";
string text = "some text [email protected] some other mail [email protected] text.";
Match m =  Regex.Match(text, regex);
while (m.Success)
{
     foundMails.Add(m.ToString());
     m = m.NextMatch();

}

foundMails collection contains found emails
