Hard to tell as you are not providing many details :-)
1/ Do you have any requirements to fulfill?
I.e., if it must appear the company name and job positition in the
username.
2/ Can you provide an alias alongside with the full address?
That way, users may have a long e-mail address and a short alias they can
use if they experience any problem when they have to give their e-mail
address at any website
3/ Keep it simple
Avoid mixing different characters like "_" (underscore), "." (dots) and
"-" (dash) to sepparate words. Keeping the same format is easier to
remeber: "surenamename.company.posit...@domain.com" or "surenamename-
company-posit...@domain.com"
4/ Use signatures and e-mail header fields ("Company:") for expanding
information about your corporative data.
