In the world today, there are more than four billion email users. Email has become an essential part of our lives, especially in the world of business. Perhaps it is not surprising that the origins of email began at the world-famous Massachusetts Institute of Technology, or MIT. In 1965, computer engineers at MIT developed a system called “MAILBOX.” The system would allow users to leave messages on the computer for others who logged on later.
在当今的世界，电子邮件用户超过四十亿人。电子邮件已成为我们生活中不可或缺的一部分，尤其是在商业领域。电子邮件的起源始于世界著名的麻省理工学院（又称 MIT），这或许一点也不令人意外。1965 年，麻省理工学院的电脑工程师开发了一个名为「MAILBOX」的系统。该系统让使用者得以在电脑上留言给稍后登入的其他人。
