Who e-mail? E-mail is the use of natural resources and perhaps inevitable from the network communication technology, developed in collaboration with Internet growth. In fact, there is a specific message in the form in the early days of computer time-sharing. This network can receive e-mails are being developed for the ARPANET was not long before, and now the technology has become a powerful e-mail most frequently used applications on the Internet today. Important events and milestones in detecting e-mail address below:
• Computer timeshare. With the development in the early 1960′s when you share a computer with more than one program can be implemented at a time, many research organizations to write programs to exchange text messages and chat in real time with users at different terminals. As often happens, more than one person commented that it is natural to use new technology to expand human communication. However, this system is limited to the first use by the person using the computer.
· SNDMSG & READ THE MAIL. In early 1970, Ray Tomlinson, in a small development team TENEX operating system, local e-mail program called SNDMSG and read your e-mail. In the fall of 1971, Tomlinson has a first ARPANET e-mail when updated with the addition of SNDMSG application program called CPYNET able to copy files over a network, and was informed by his friends to send e-mail with a new program with instructions on how to use it.
Replying to expand its network, Tomlinson chose the symbol “trade” for the user and host name for the union, which of course means that the form “user @ host”, which is typical for e-mail now. The program started with a simple and a command line, but the basic model that describes the transaction technology – e-mail was sent to the mailbox.
· Mail & MLFL. In 1972 and mail order MLFL added to FTP (RFC 385) for providing the transportation network for the transmission of e-standards. FTP to send a separate copy of each e-mail to each recipient, and provide e-mail ARPANET municipal functions until early 1980, when more efficient SMTP protocol is established. SMTP is better to send a message to the domain with more than one recipient, then the local server to copy the message to local recipients.
¸ ¸. ARPA director, Steve Lukasik, Lawrence Roberts asked, the director of IPTO, improve MAIL READ, should read this report in order, and there is no way to save, or reply. RD Roberts wrote for a three-day weekend as a set of macros in a text editor TENEX TECO (text editor and corrector), and given the name of a program called Road.
The new program is the ability to customize the e-mail with the subject and date, allows users to sort the messages in the inbox, and read and store messages in the order they want. As a sign of pragmatism, coupled with the development of many e-mails in recent years, DR has been developed as a research effort, but as a practical attempt to create a real problem of e-mail management problem.
· JPN. DARPA researchers Rd Barry Wessler better program called the AGC, including the characteristics of a number of new usability.
· WRD / BANANARD. Marty Yonka and NRD SNDMSG Recoded for free program called WRD. This is the first program to read, send and include user-friendly help system in the same application, then rename it BANANARD.
· MSG. John Vittal BANANARD MSG called for new programs and better, with advanced features such as sending messages, and the interface is automatically configured command response reply address. MSG can be loosely called the e-mail first modern programs.
Dave Crocker (see MS) is a celebration of the Revolution Command:. “I was the spread of the subjective effects of MSG causes an exponential explosion of the use of electronic mail for a period of about six months the simplest explanation is that people can now close the Shannon-Weaver communication link direction, instead of a simple formulation of one new position. In other words, folders, e Email to send free messages to the discussion. ”
· MS / MH. In 1975, DARPA program manager Steve Walker, a project initiated at RAND in the ability of MSG such as e-mail for the development of the Unix operating system. The project is led by Dave Farber, a professor at the University of California at Irvine. Dave Crocker, he started graduate school at the University of Southern California Annenberg School, designed the specifications of functions, and Steve Tepper and Bill Crosby doing programming.
System interface supports a variety of consequences, the basic Unix commands to the interface electronics and MSG called MS. Crocker said: “This program is very strong, and very, very slowly.” Continuance of reconstruction projects in the RAND program benefited more than the Unix system, violation of individual program instructions running on the surface of a variety of Unix. Bruce Borden is the best program, and the resulting application is called short for MH mail operator. Since 1982, Marshall Rose and others have been updated and maintained MH, and a base e-mail to this Unix environment.
· RFC 733. In 1977, Crocker, John Vittal, Kenneth Pogran, and D. Austin Henderson participated in the DARPA initiative for a variety of e-mail format to collect data on the specifications of one, together, to RFC 733.
Certain documentation relating to innovation a bit, and the first Internet RFC standards specifically to try to bring some order to the e-variety format that is used in the ARPANET – the effort was not initially met with universal approval among the public, independent research is distributed. In 1982, Crocker was revised RFC 733 RFC 822, which is the first standard for the syntax of the domain name to describe the product.
· MMDF. In 1978, after Crocker Dave Farber at the University of Delaware, where he took on a project for the Military Order of U. S. Supplies (AMC) to develop the ability to deliver e-mail through a dial-up telephone lines to the pages directly connected to the ARPANET. Crocker made the first version of what will be the Multi-purpose memo distribution system (MMDF) within six months of work, and then create and run the test relay site at the University of Delaware for a variety of AMC’s website.
MMDF link level protocol was developed by Ed Szurkowski. Many other people working in software after Crocker left, including Doug Kingston, Craig Partridge, and Steve Kille, generating equipment, such as building a strong layer of TCP / IP. Free custom software for X.400 ISO / OSI standard CCITT e-mail, a first software system that supports the designation “PP” after “the postman Pat”, British newspaper Today the word to the person sending mail. MMDF used for the initial capacity of CSNET relay e-mail offers.
· Sendmail. In early 1980, e-mail is also done using a simple UUCP technology at the University of California at Berkeley, where he developed the BSD Unix operating system. Eric Allman and create a program called mail sent to organize a number of e-vehicles, from the ability to move efficiently store and forward e-integrated. Allman then built based on sendmail program, which is distributed with BSD Unix to make, and have lost their normal SMTP server on the Internet should be.
Email Sales °. In 1988, Vinton Cerf, MCI Mail is set to connect to the NSFNET Corporation National Research Initiatives (CNRI) to “use the experimental” death of the first commercial use of the Internet run. In 1989, CompuServe e-mail system is also linked to NSFNET networks, Ohio State University.
‘Online Services. In 1993, a large network service providers America Online and Delphi started the e-mail to connect to Internet use, fast Internet e-mail as a global standard.
