Who was the first U.S. President to use e-mail?

Tip for best answer: M$0.50
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Surprisingly, President Barack Obama. At least, in an official capacity.

Sitting presidents have been discouraged from using email to communicate while in office due to security concerns--and out of legal concerns. Most Presidents in the technological age have feared that emails could be subject to subpoenas from Congress.

But Pres. Obama finally convinced White House officials to allow email exchanges between personal friends/family and only his closest advisers.

Just to be clear, other presidents (including Bush Jr., and Clinton) did use email out of office, just never as President.

If you define e-mail by the sending of electronic computer messages, than it would be Ronald Reagan, source - http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/white_house_email/index.html

Although, if you think of e-mail in the regular terms, it would be Bill Clinton, this occurred in may 1993 -http://www.weeuniverse.com/triviauspresidents.html

Another reason not to trust sources until you've checked them yourself: the "weeuniverse" link provided in that Wiki Answers page is invalid....and that probably had something to do with its inaccuracy. ;)
