if it does not affect your logic/requirement, change the field type to text

It's a text field.
Ive tried your solution with the backward slash and it does work in the mail program, so I think it also works in the application

The users write down the emailaddress in the field, not all the emailaddresses have a /
Of course we can also check of a / is in the mailaddress, but if the user knows that he need to set a \ before  the / then it's also alright.
Because I think that this problem doesn't occur often
