when did email come out?

A brief history of email \n\nMankind has always had a compelling desire to communicate. In ancient times this could be verbally or in some form of writing. If remote communication was required (i.e. if the parties were not physically together) then messages had to be physically carried or sent by a messenger. Examples of early forms of remote transmission of messages not requiring a person to actually move between the sender and the receiver would be in 'jungle drum' or 'smoke signal' transmissions. These were somewhat lacking in security and privacy. \n\nIf 'email' is loosely defined as 'messages transmitted electronically', then the first 'email messages' would have started in the last century with telegraph messages (by wire) and Morse Code transmissions (via airways). \n\nThis definition would also include the telex network that was used extensively by business on a world-wide basis from the mid-1920's to the mid-1980's. The telex network was independent of the telephone network and telex machines could connect with and communicate with any other telex machine on a global scale. Telex also was relatively secure in that the sending and receiving machines did identifying handshaking. It was relatively expensive to have a 'telex line' installed and subsequent telex messages were charged on a data transmitted basis. In addition, for much of its history, use of telex required a dedicated 'telex terminal' which was less than intuitive and often required trained operators. [ It may come as a surprise to many in this age of computers and chips everywhere that telex is still operating and being used throughout the world.] \n\nDuring the 1960's and 1970's many companies who were using mainframe and mini computers also used email facilities on those systems. This enabled users of terminals attached to those systems to send messages to each other. As companies began to connect their central systems (hosts) to branch offices and subsidiaries then employees were able to send email to other employees of that company on a world-wide basis. \n\nAlso during this time the US Department of Defence's research into computer networks was well underway, resulting in the embryonic ARPANET --the forerunner to the now global Internet. According to information regarding these early years, the first ARPANET network email message was transmitted in 1971. \n\nIn the late-1970's and 1980's the phenomenal growth of personal computers (Apple II 1978 - 1985; IBM PC 1983 and Apple Macintosh 1984) created a whole new genre of email technologies. Some of these systems were proprietary 'dial-up' systems such as MCI Mail, EasyLink, Telecom Gold, One-to-One, CompuServe, AppleLink etc. For two people to exchange messages remotely on these systems they had to both be subscribers. The proprietary systems did not interoperate or transmit messages from one system to another, or for the few systems that did these were notoriously unreliable — a reason for eventual demise of most of these systems. At the same time, companies and enthusiasts were setting up 'bulletin board systems' (BBS) which were often used both to send/receive messages and to exchange information. \n\nA couple of facts are worthy of note at this juncture: \n\na) there were over one million Apple II computers sold before the first 'PC' was even released; \nb) there were hundreds-of-thousands of personal computer users sending and receiving 'email messages' using dial-up systems prior to the Internet becoming available for general use. \n\nIn parallel with the development of the personal computer market, companies were connecting the personal computers increasingly being used by their staff, to both their mainframe/midrange systems and to "LAN-based" email systems. When connected to the mainframe/midrange systems they were often being used in 'terminal emulation' mode a

Nope! Sorry, once it has begun its' journey in cyber space, it is gone. Most emails can arrive at their destination in seconds.

You pretty much summd it up there from A to Z. \n\nAs far as any new email standards with an emphasis on security ( or in that realm) , I can honestly say I haven't heard of anything new at this time.\n\nThat's a excellent question though.

Depends on your definition of when the Internet began, but Ray Tomlinson sent the first network e-mail.  Please check the linked source for the full story.

Why would you want my email? For more questions... :)

This would be easier to answer if you told us what program you are using to open your emails.  :)

The email states that the email was sent on the 18th May, unless he has amended this date, which you can do when forwarding emails.\nThe CC is basically a case of, for instance, I am having a conversation with Lisa, I will send the email to Lisa, but if I think that Suzanne would be interested in what we are talking about, I will then CC Suzanne.  All that happens is that the email is sent to both Lisa and Suzanne.

Tom, I suspect that email is still the preferred method of online communication by most.  We have used other methods as our web design company is obviously concerned with such things, but what we've found is that regardless of technical advantages and disadvantages of any methodology, common usage rules the game and basically everyone who has a computer also has an email address.\n\nBest wishes!\n\nDaniel\nhttp://www.ipowergrfx.com
