The world's first e-mail was sent between two computers without the internet and it did amazing Raymond Tomlinson. Raymond was given the symbol for @ by email.

Raymond Tomlinson, a resident of Cambridge, American, was a scientist. He had been working on the instant messaging of two electronic devices for many years. In 1969, he succeeded in sending messages between two computers in his office for the first time. Raymond sent the first e-mail message through the Advanced Research Projects Agency Network.
