**normalizeEmail(email [, options])** | canonicalizes an email address. (This doesn't validate that the input is an email, if you want to validate you email use isEmail beforehand)<br/><br/>`options` is an object with the following keys and default values:<br/><ul><li>*all_lowercase: true* - Transforms the local part (before the @ symbol) of all email addresses to lowercase. Please note that this may violate RFC 5321, which gives providers the possibility to treat the local part of email addresses in a case sensitive way (although in practice most - yet not all - providers don't). The domain part of the email address is always lowercased, as it's case insensitive per RFC 1035.</li><li>*gmail_lowercase: true* - GMail addresses are known to be case-insensitive, so this switch allows lowercasing them even when *all_lowercase* is set to false. Please note that when *all_lowercase* is true, GMail addresses are lowercased regardless of the value of this setting.</li><li>*gmail_remove_dots: true*: Removes dots from the local part of the email address, as GMail ignores them (e.g. "john.doe" and "johndoe" are considered equal).</li><li>*gmail_remove_subaddress: true*: Normalizes addresses by removing "sub-addresses", which is the part following a "+" sign (e.g. "
[email protected]" becomes "
[email protected]").</li><li>*gmail_convert_googlemaildotcom: true*: Converts addresses with domain @googlemail.com to @gmail.com, as they're equivalent.</li><li>*outlookdotcom_lowercase: true* - Outlook.com addresses (including Windows Live and Hotmail) are known to be case-insensitive, so this switch allows lowercasing them even when *all_lowercase* is set to false. Please note that when *all_lowercase* is true, Outlook.com addresses are lowercased regardless of the value of this setting.</li><li>*outlookdotcom_remove_subaddress: true*: Normalizes addresses by removing "sub-addresses", which is the part following a "+" sign (e.g. "
[email protected]" becomes "
[email protected]").</li><li>*yahoo_lowercase: true* - Yahoo Mail addresses are known to be case-insensitive, so this switch allows lowercasing them even when *all_lowercase* is set to false. Please note that when *all_lowercase* is true, Yahoo Mail addresses are lowercased regardless of the value of this setting.</li><li>*yahoo_remove_subaddress: true*: Normalizes addresses by removing "sub-addresses", which is the part following a "-" sign (e.g. "
[email protected]" becomes "
[email protected]").</li><li>*icloud_lowercase: true* - iCloud addresses (including MobileMe) are known to be case-insensitive, so this switch allows lowercasing them even when *all_lowercase* is set to false. Please note that when *all_lowercase* is true, iCloud addresses are lowercased regardless of the value of this setting.</li><li>*icloud_remove_subaddress: true*: Normalizes addresses by removing "sub-addresses", which is the part following a "+" sign (e.g. "
[email protected]" becomes "
[email protected]").</li></ul>
