Solution 1

The only real, guaranteed way is to send it an email, and require a click back to your site.
That way you know the email address exists and is readable as of that moment - it may not be five minutes later however (TenMinuteMail[^] is an example of a working email address that is time limited)

+5 Correct anwser as this is the only way to do it - by using regex's it is possible to verify that the email address is valid, but not that it exists
