It's an example though; most of the time, French requires more letters than English to write the same thing. As my browser is configured in French, I regularly see interfaces broken because of these. Most of the time it's not a big deal (as in the article's example), but sometimes it makes the website/application harder to use, either because some text is hidden, or the text box goes over a button/text field, which then becomes impossible to use. > Is there any shorter equivalent in French? The shortest would be "email pro", but it's informal. The best you can do in formal language (and if you're ok with dropping the "address" part of the label) is "email professionnel".
