You've Got Mail is an American romantic comedy released in 1998 by Warner Brothers. It is a remake of the film The Shop Around the Corner (1940), in which two letter-writing lovers are completely unaware that their sweetheart is in fact the co-worker with whom they share a certain degree of animosity. There was also a 1949 musical remake (In the Good Old Summertime) starring Judy Garland. You've Got Mail updates that concept to the use of e-mail. (The name of the film is the greeting that American AOL users hear when they receive new e-mail.) The film received significant media coverage leading up to its release in anticipation of the romantic coupling of Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan, who had appeared together previously in Joe vs. The Volcano (1990) and Sleepless in Seattle (1993).

Plot summary
Meg Ryan portrays Kathleen Kelly who is involved with Frank Navasky (Greg Kinnear). While Frank, as a newspaper writer for the New York Observer, is devoted to the typewriter, Kathleen prefers her laptop and logging into her AOL e-mail account. There, using the avatar Shopgirl, Kathleen communicates with NY152. This is the avatar for Joe Fox (Tom Hanks). Joe belongs to the Fox family which runs a chain of "mega" bookstores, Fox Books. Kathleen, on the other hand, runs the independent bookstore, The Shop Around The Corner, that her mother ran before her. The central conflict of the film revolves around the ability of Kathleen and Joe to interact well in virtual reality while they are business competitors in the "real world." A persistent mode of dramatic irony appears when Kathleen and Joe read each others emails. This article or section does not adequately cite its references or sources. ...

The movie begins with Kathleen logging on to her AOL account to read an email from "NY152" (Joe). In her reading of the e-mail, she reveals the boundaries of the online relationship; no specifics. The two then pass themselves on their respective ways to work, unbeknownst to each other. Joe arrives at work, overseeing the opening of the new "Fox Books" with the help of his friend and assistant Kevin (Dave Chappelle). Meanwhile, Kathleen and her three store assistants, George (Steve Zahn), Bertie (Jean Stapleton), and Christina (Heather Burns) open up shop.

Following a day on the town with his eleven-year-old aunt Annabel and five-year-old brother Matthew, Joe enters Kathleen's store to let his younger relatives experience storytime. The two have a friendly conversation, where Joe Fox introduces himself as "Joe. Call me Joe", omitting his last name of Fox. However, at a publishing party later in the week, Joe and Kathleen meet again, both of them being in the "book business", where Kathleen discovers Joe's true identity.
All the while, "NY152" and "Shopgirl" continue their courtship, to the point where "NY152" asks "Shopgirl" to meet. Too embarrassed to go alone, Joe brings Kevin along for moral support. He insists that "Shopgirl" may be the love of his life. Meanwhile Kevin, looking in a cafe window at the behest of Joe, discovers the true identity of "Shopgirl". When Joe discovers that it is actually Kelly behind the name, he confronts her as Joe (concealing his "NY152" alter ego). The two exchange words and Joe leaves hurt.
Following incitations from Frank and Joe via "NY152", Kelly begins a media war, including both a boycott of Fox Books and an interview on the local news. Despite all efforts, The Shop Around the Corner slowly goes under. In a somber moment Kathleen enters Fox Books to discover the true nature of the store is one of friendliness and relaxation.

Allowing time for their electronic relationship to convalesce, Joe visits Kathleen while she is sick. Joe discovers that Kathleen has broken up with Frank, predated one week by Joe and Patricia (Parker Posey). Kathleen reject Joe at first but the two begin a true friendship, slowly falling for one another. For the African-American television actress, see Parker McKenna Posey. ...
At the same time, "NY152" and "Shopgirl" agree to meet one more time. Joe and his dog Brinkley (the topic of numerous e-mails) meet Kathleen at Riverside Park. The two kiss as Kathleen cries and Over the Rainbow takes the movie out. Riverside Park is a scenic waterfront public park on the Upper West Side of Manhattan in New York City, consisting of a narrow four-mile strip of land between the Hudson River and the gently curving rise-and-fall of Riverside Drive. ...
