According to a facebook post from Beyond Concepts Designing LLP 
The E-mail replicated all the functions of the interoffice mail system: Inbox, Outbox, Folders, Memo, Attachments, Address Book, etc. These features are now familiar parts of every email system.
Well, when VA Shiva Ayyadurai was studying at Livingston High school in New Jersey, he started to work on the email system for University of Medicine and Dentistry. He there noticed that each and every secretary have an inbox, outbox, drafts, carbon copy, folders, paper etc. which they used every single day to create and process incoming and outgoing mail.
After looking at the needs. He created a computer program of over 50,000 lines of code and named it E-mail. In 1982, US Government recognized VA Shiva Ayyadurai as the inventor of E-mail and awarded him the US copyright for email.
