you can use varchar as your data type for email column as emails are usually composed of letters, numbers and special characters.

Since the max lenght for a email is 254 characters, i would recommend you to use nvarchar(255). That should be enough

It’s good to go with NVARCHAR(320) – 64 characters for local part + @ + 255 for domain name.

You Use varchar(255) and nvarchar(255) Data type
