Hi,
There are no capabilities to validate emails in the frontend. You would need to do that in the backend (i.e. in your Python code) at runtime.
You could for example use the standard Python library function email.utils.parseaddr for that (https://docs.python.org/3/library/email.utils.html#email.utils.parseaddr)

The exact manner depends on what kind of plugin component you are developing (recipe, macro, dataset, trigger, step, ...).
But ultimately, every custom component will receive its configuration, since that's the foundational way that plugins work, and you can do this validation at the time of running and outputing a clear error message.
Validating at edition time would require you to write a fully custom UI and backend. It is a significant challenge and is a lengthy process. We have a documentation here https://doc.dataiku.com/dss/latest/plugins/reference/other.html#custom-settings-ui
