Display All – to display the entire email address line, for example: Irene.Smith@yahoo.com;
Only Display the User Portion – to display a part of an email address line preceding the @ character, for example: Irene.Smith;
Only Display the First Part of the User Portion – to display only the first part of the user name, for example: Irene.

Help: When the Help text property is filled in, a question mark is displayed near the field name on the View/Edit form. Hovering over this question mark will display a pop-up with a tip or a help text message.
