History
It is difficult to trace the exact origin of the first E-mail messages. In 1965 MIT was one of the first to create software that allowed multiple users to login into a single machine. This technology was known as Compatible Time-Sharing System and allowed users to leave electronic messages for one another. Beyond this the ARPANET helped to greatly increase E-mail usage as it quickly became the favorite application of many on the network. http://www.nethistory.info/History%20of%20the%20Internet/email.html
