Perhaps surprisingly, somewhat more than 20 years old.  RFC822 is not
far off 30 years old and its predecessors probably reach back to the
mid-70s at least. I've been using email for (eek!) 24 years (and I mean
between sites/organisations/continents, albeit using bang addresses,
not just internal email).
