He didn't invent email or the @ symbol. He used @ to allow email to be sent to different network domains.

So would it be correct to say 'he invented email with the @ sign'?

He's so underappreciated nobody cared enough to tell us about him until after his death. Unfortunate that is what it took to get some recognition by more than just techies.
