In fact, in 1998 it was reported that for the first time more electronic mails were sent than regular (snail) mail. Looking back made me nostalgic for those bygone days, so I wanted to write about my favorite email programs from the 90’ies! And make no mistake, it was a big decade for email. It also doesn’t hurt that I was so geeky that I actually liked being one of the only guys exploring this exciting new media that just appeared. It happened at the same time that I discovered html on Xmosaic – one of the first browsers – on Unix, but that’s another story. So how did it happen that I was sending emails when most people at the time didn’t have a clue what email even was? Well, you can thank University of Copenhagen for that, data room A109. So today I will write about email programs from the 90’ies as I remember them. Well, that’s not completely true because emails were sent way before the 90’ies, but this is where it got out to the public.
