Description gaurav 2014-07-18 13:00:43 UTC 
<input id="mail" type="email">
it is accepting string values such as


asdf.asdf@asdf

If we fullfill it's requirement by providing "." and "@" it is accepting the values as correct format for email.

asdf.asdf@asdf looks like syntactically valid email address to me. 
The purpose of validation is not to verify the particular email address exists and emails can be delivered to it - it validate just syntax.
