Why does email use the @ symbol?+
In 1971 Ray Tomlinson picked @ for ARPANET mail to separate the user name from the machine name — it was a rarely used key that already meant “at” in accounting. It has been the symbol of electronic mail ever since.
When was the first email sent?+
The first networked email was sent in 1971 by Ray Tomlinson between two ARPANET computers. He later said the test message was probably forgettable keyboard mashing like “QWERTYUIOP”.
