Most likely mail within the local machine.  We also had similar
email in 1970 on the Burroughs B6700.  

When we got on the ARPAnet in 1971 (35th node), there was no email
I remember ... IIRC, I'd connect to BBN (which had a DEC 10)
and leave a note on their machine for Danny Bobrow, that was the "email" I was using then.
