Around 1988, in college. Don't remember it, but it was approximately my name at-cooper.edu -- I only used it to email other students or professors and then to post to newsgroups. In 1992, I got my first job and they had some insane email address (many special characters) from their internet provider (we didn't have a domain) -- around 1995/96, that became something normal with a company domain.

Here is a relevant Dilbert from that era that exactly described my situation: dilbert.com/strip/1996-10-22
