email started in the mid 1960s and evolved massively with the ARPANET computer network. Early email addresses had to specify a path i.e. exactly which machine a message was going to travel on to get from the sender to the receiver. Messages often got lost and could take as long as a week to reach their destination. They were often sent at night to minimise the cost of long-distance telephone calls.
In 1971 the @ symbol was chosen to combine the user and host name, i.e. username@host.
In the early 1980s this was extended to include the domain i.e. username@host.domain which could then be further divided to username@host.org.domain This standard for email remains today.
In the early 1980s, SMTP was developed to provide a more efficient protocol. SMTP allowed a single message with more than one addressee to be sent to a domain. A local server then copied the message to each recipient.
1988 saw the first authorised use of commercial email on the internet.
In 1989 the Compuserve mail system was connected through the Ohio State University network.
In 1993 AOL connected their system to the Internet and email became global.
