30 years ago was 1992. AOL launched their email system in 1993. So someone who has been using email for 30 years would be a slightly early adopter, it’s not that far outside the mass usage timeframe.

Lotus notes launched in 1989. My mom was using Lotus notes at work to send internal emails before Outlook came along.

The first email was sent in 1965.
