extract data from a large file in Linux

I have a file with thousands of email, names and addresses and so on I need to extract just the email address and pipe that to a new file.
What would be the easiest grep command to do so?

It works perfectly for me using your data.

What is your OS, what do you get with "grep --version"?

Did you exactly use my code, including the "[:space:]" stuff I added later?

Sorry My bad, didn't see the updated command, and that works perfectly.
