Email not validating completely with jQuery validation

Question

Email address not validating completely for example. i have a email field and i am validating it from jQuery validation plugin. when i put some like "abbcss" it says email is not valid. then i put "abbcss@g" the error is gone and as you can see the email is still not valid. for better understanding i put a fiddle here.

$(document).ready(function(e) {
    $('#email').keyup(function(){
			$('#checkform').validate();
	 });
});

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<link href="//getbootstrap.com/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<script src="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/jquery.validation/1.15.0/jquery.validate.js"></script>


<form id="checkform">
<input id="email" type="email" name="email">
</form>
<hr>
<p>Try to put first "abcc" and click outside field </p>
<p>then try to put "abcc@gmail" and click outside field </p>
<p>it will consider it a valid email but actually it is not.</p>

any help regarding this issue will be appriciate.

You can validate email by using jquery validation plugin add method

jQuery.validator.addMethod("validate_email", function(value, element) {

    if (/^([a-zA-Z0-9_\.\-])+\@(([a-zA-Z0-9\-])+\.)+([a-zA-Z0-9]{2,4})+$/.test(value)) {
        return true;
    } else {
        return false;
    }
}, "Please enter a valid Email.");

$('#checkform').validate({
    rules: {
        email: {
            validate_email: true
        },
    }
});
