Prior to email addresses the @ sign was used as in
8 items @ 50p = 4 pounds
it was more a mathematic symbol than anything, but it always means "at"

@ = at
PS The at sign has existed for a long time & has been used for hundreds of years before its use in email addresses:

PPS Nedstar (below) - an 'ampersand' is the & sign meaning 'and' of course.

as has been previously answered, it's pronounced 'at'. ampersand is actually the '&' character. I could go into the why's & wherefores why it's called ampersand, but I don't want to bore you :)
