To be more specific, in fact, our current application allows to delete
email(s) with a minimum of 3 characters.  There is a note/warning also given
for application Users' before deleting, explaining the implication of this
delete action (partial & case-insensitive, and it could be wide-ranging
too).

> So, I'll ask again: do you really want to match all of those options?
Yes, as explained above, I want to match all those.
