Burma (Myanmar) may be in the running for the world’s slowest email: more than four months.

LIRNEasia and ISEAS organized an expert forum on ICT indicators in Singapore in March 2007.  On the 26th of January, the Myanmar Ministry of Post and Telecom sent an e-mail to the ISEAS in Singapore, nominating an officer to attend.   That e-mail reached ISEAS yesterday (4th June 2006; more than four months later).

    Well, I can understand why it was so difficult, having it arrive almost seven months before it was sent ;).
