    I tried this but it didn't work. I don't know what the emails are going to be they are from all over the U.S. There are over 4000 records that I am going to be pulling from.

    have you written the below code yourself

    SUBSTRING(SUBSTRING(n.Note,1,CHARINDEX(' ',n.Note,CHARINDEX('@', n.Note))-1),CHARINDEX('@', n.Note) - CHARINDEX(' ',REVERSE(SUBSTRING(n.Note,1,CHARINDEX('@', n.Note)-1))) + 1, 255)

    IF yes then first only select the innermost function then start overlapping the outer ones .one by one.

    this can help you to trace the culprit record.

    another thing , first select TOP 100 then TOP 500 and so on , then see which selection is giving error. in this way you can avoid to traverse complete 4000 records.

    My thought question: Have you ever been told that your query runs too fast?

    My advice:
    INDEXing a poor-performing query is like putting sugar on cat food. Yeah, it probably tastes better but are you sure you want to eat it?
    The path of least resistance can be a slippery slope. Take care that fixing your fixes of fixes doesn't snowball and end up costing you more than fixing the root cause would have in the first place.
