Here are some quick facts about email. First Email! – The first email message was sent by Ray Tomlinson in early 1971.
Why the @? – The ubiquitous @ symbol was chosen because of the rare use of the symbol and the complete lack of use in people’s names. This made sure there would be no mistaken emails sent.
SNDMSG – The first email protocol was SNDMSG. This allowed researchers and programmers to leave messages for each other.
