Try this regex instead:
^.*\+.*?\d{3,}@
The meaning of it is:
^ start of string
.* any number of characters
\+ a literal plus sign
.*? any number of characters (non-greedy)
\d{3,} at least three digits
@ a literal at sign
I'm not sure if the difference between "non-greedy" .*? and "greedy" .*
is important in this case.
Good luck!
