I might just be using the wrong keywords on Google, but what I have in mind is:

 --------------------------------
|    What is your mailbox?       |
|                                |
|    [       ]@mail.example.org  |
|                                |
|        [OK]      [Cancel]      |
 --------------------------------

The idea being that the input field is followed right behind by the mail server name, to help avoid instances where:

  1. If I don't make it follow right behind, the user puts in the whole thing,

  2. If I default it to "[email protected]" they delete the server name.

In either case, it's not too big a deal, as I will know that if the returned value does have the server, to remove it and if doesn't, I know what server it belongs to, but I think this visual aid will be a better user experience and lower the amount of validation worries I tend to get.
