[Tex/LaTex] Footnote on Title page in article

Question

I need my e-mail address to appear as a footnote on the title page. I tried using authblk.sty but the footnote appears right after the date in the middle of the title page. My file looks like:

\usepackage[affil-it]{authblk}

\begin{document}
\author{First Last
\thanks{E-mail: \textttt{me@x.edu}}}
\affil{Department, College}
\date{\today}

\maketitle
\pagebreak
\tableofcontents
\pagebreak
\end{document}

I started from here. What's the best to get what I need?

Answer 1

You can try with a \vfill like:

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[affil-it]{authblk}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\begin{document}

\title{Aggregation According to Classical Kinetics---From Nucleation to
Coarsening}

\author{First Last%
  \thanks{E-mail: \texttt{me@x.edu}}}
\affil{Department, College}


\date{\today}

\maketitle
\vfill
\pagebreak

\tableofcontents
\pagebreak

\section{Test 1st section}
\blindtext
\section{Second section}
\blindtext
\subsection{test subsection}
\blindtext
\end{document}
