1982, the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) became the standard for sending
Standardization emails, while Post Office Protocol (POP) and Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP)
(1980s) were developed for email retrieval.

Commercialization The 1990s saw the commercialization of email with the rise of the internet. Companies
like AOL, Yahoo!, and Hotmail (later acquired by Microsoft) provided email services to

measures became necessary to combat unsolicited messages and phishing attempts.
