The world's first integrated email system (the basis of email systems like Hotmail and Gmail) was invented by Dr. V. A. Shiva Ayyadurai aka Dr. E-Mail from MIT. He designed the first email system in 1980. He received the first copyright for email (TXu 111-775) from the United States Copyright Office in 1982. This was before patents were issued for software which was treated similar to music, art or literary work. His website is http://www.dremail.com

The history of email began with Ray Tomlinson in 1971. The program was created while he was working for the US government, specifically ARPANET (the future Internet).
