This blog is dedicated to those people who worked tirelessly to design, build, code, market, sell, support, and operate the electronic mail service known as MCI Mail.
The MCI Mail service was formally launched by MCI's Chairman and founder Bill McGowan, in Washington, DC on September 27, 1983 -- and it was decommissioned, after almost 20 years of service, on June 30, 2003.
This blog was created to collect and share the history of what was MCI Mail - one of the first commercial e-mail services in the United States.
If you were involved with the MCI Mail product over the years please consider helping us to preserve the history of MCI Mail.
You can do this by,
(a) Helping to write and edit the MCI Mail entry on Wikipedia; and/or
(b) Sharing some of your memories via this blog.
We're looking for historic material, i.e.-- images, written memories, stories, "historic" documents and e-mails from MCI Mail's history.
If you wish to contribute material to the MCI Mail blog please send an e-mail to contact listed under the "View my complete profile" hyperlink - on the right - and we'll be in touch.
Thanks!
