Do not listen to this Shaya guy. I actually interviewed Bob Kahn and Vint Cerf, the two guys at DARPA that coded the first email system in the late 1970s-early 80s. Cerf made the first commercial deployment of the technology as strategy chief at MCI. It was called MCI Mail. Timeframe is around 1984-85. MCI Mail initially was used for internal communications, since there was no commercial Internet at the time. This Shaya guy had nothing to do with any of that engineering.
Who cares? I actually know the two engineers who developed the code that created bidirectional email. I have receipts to prove it too. Patents only last seven years, and don't necessarily refer to new creations. You could take trademarked open source code by Red Hat, use a variant and create a new app. It doesn't mean you created Red Hat.

The Shaya guy has supporting documents on his website that back up his claims, including articles and patents.
