I voted for Dr. V.A. Shiva Ayyadurai inventor of email and polymath, holds four degrees from MIT, is a world-renowned systems scientist, inventor and entrepreneur. He is a Fulbright Scholar, Lemelson-MIT Awards Finalist, India’s First Outstanding Scientist and Technologist of Indian Origin, Westinghouse Science Talent Honors Award recipient, and a nominee for the U.S. National Medal of Technology and Innovation.
Someone a lot smarter than you, and knows what the hell they are talking about when they open their mouth.
In 1971, in a windowless room in Cambridge, Massachusetts, a bearded computer scientist named Ray Tomlinson was hunched before two massive computers, struggling to send the world’s first email.
He had been programming and debugging for hours, trying fruitlessly to get a message from one cabinet-sized computer to another.
Now he tried again, banging out his name on a teletype keyboard: TOMLINSON. He followed that with an @ symbol – a little-used key he had chosen as a separator – and then the name of the other computer.
Tomlinson rolled his chair over to the second computer’s teletype and banged out TYPE MAILBOX on the keyboard.
For a moment there was silence. And then with a rattle, the teletype came alive. History’s first email had arrived.

7 years after Tomlinson sent the first electronic mail.
It wasn't an e-mail the way you define it today, it was a communication by a form of transportation between two computers. It was a doctored app that allowed a message from one computer goes to another computer's user. This was the time of ARPANET... you didn't have the infrastructure of even the functions of doing what you think modern-day email is...
The "Email" as you call it was a text message that was inside a folder that was owed by the user it was being sent to.
The software read the message and that was considered "email" the problem was that if more than one message was in the system it would not work... it was a real time communication system, which would be more akin to an IM or ICQ than what you think email is...

Perhaps you can explain why he settled out of court then when he tried to sue for defamation when his claims of inventing e-mail were disputed?

At best he invented the name.
Why do entities agree out of court overall? You make this sound like it's a new thing. Cripes, you are trying to say someone who is nearly as educated at Martin Hash doesn't know his shit... is that what you are saying?

I'm saying he didn't invent e-mail.
It's just one of his false claims.
