3. Question: How Many Email Users Are There? Answer: According to a Radicati Group study from August 2008, there are about 1.3 billion email users worldwide. That means more than one in every five persons on the earth use email. The mailboxes commanded by these millions of users were estimated to number about 1.4 billion in 2006. Corporate Users The Radicati Group counted 516 million business email inboxes worldwide in 2007. Disclaimer! Clearly all numbers are educated guesses. Still, they are probably more educated a guess than most of us can make!
4. Question: How Many Emails Are Sent Every Day? Answer: Statistics, extrapolations and counting by Radicati Group from August 2008 estimate the number of emails sent per day (in 2008) to be around 210 billion. 210 billion messages per day means more than 2 million emails are sent every second. About 75% to 90% of them are likely to be spam and viruses.
6. Email – A little history 1960’s Timesharing computers created the possibility of sending messages to other users of that one computer 1970’s Ray Tomlinson updated SNDMSG (a local email program for the TENEX OS) for the ARPANET by adding CPYNET. Told colleagues via “email” John Vittal created MSG which was the first program to allow for replies to a message thus creating a conversational tool 1975 MS and MH – MS was created when the above MSG was ported to Unix, it was very slow and was rewritten by Bruce Borden and called Mail Handler or MH. It became the standard UNIX mail program 1977 – RFC 733 was updated to RFC 822 which first described domain names 1980’s SENDMAIL created and goes on to become most used SMTP server on the Internet Late 1980’s – Early 1990’s MCI Mail, Compuserve, AOL and Delphi all connect their mail systems to the Internet
7. The history of @ The Monks In the Middle Ages, monks published, reproduced, kept and passed on vast amounts of data. The monks' translations and transcriptions were hard work. Texts were long and brevity a virtue. Authors abbreviated words as short — and common — as "ad". "ad" is Latin for "at". From Monks to Merchants In the 15th century, the '@' sign appeared again. Spanish merchants used it as an abbreviation of the weight measure "arroba“. During the Renaissance period, people started to use '@' in the more general sense of "costs": "1 email address @ $100" means an email address costs USD 100. From Merchants to Mail With the advent of the Industrial Revolution, '@' was used in bookkeeping and that's why the inventors of email happily found it on their keyboards. It was Ray Tomlinson who first added @ to separate host and user name And Finally – A special code for @ was introduced to the Morse code in 2004.
