identifying email issue

I am trying to identify and extract emails from sentences. sample example sentences with emails. 

sen1 = "Please send an email to [email protected]"
sen2 = "reply to us on [email protected]"
sen3 = "mailing address: [email protected]"

I tried using information from this link and this link, and found one expression working for sen1 and sen2 

re.findall('\w+?@\w+?\x2E.+', sen1)

I have no problem in identifying for sen1 and sen2. but for sen3 the email has '.' between, so i tried with many trails

re.findall('\w+?\x2E.+@\w+?\x2E.+', sen3)
re.findall('([-!#-'*+/-9=?A-Z^-~]+(\.[-!#-'*+/-9=?A-Z^-~]+)*|"([]!#-[^-~ \t]|(\\[\t -~]))+")@[0-9A-Za-z]([0-9A-Za-z-]{0,61}[0-9A-Za-z])?(\.[0-9A-Za-z]([0-9A-Za-z-]{0,61}[0-9A-Za-z])?)+', sen3)
re.findall( ,sen3)

I could not even understand what the complicated expression is doing, it returns an empty list ([]) even for sen1 and sen2. how to identify such emails as in sen3?

You could try

\S+@\S+

and verify later if the address actually exists, see a demo on regex101.com.
