When it was invented, it was complex and annoying, even by today's standards.

Still is if you’re not using a product like gmail or outlook that auto enters all of the incoming and outgoing servers.

How many of us have spent time on our ISP’s help page trying to find the damn STMP server domain?

For a small period of time I was a god that would bless people with gmail invites lol. That brings me back. I remember compuserve and Hotmail but I don't remember them being especially complicated at all. Maybe that was before my time...? Which would be nice for once

Yeah, email existed long before GMail/Hotmail.
