AOL To Offer Up Free Email to AIM Users
AOL has introduced an odd last-minute entry into the 1GB+ email competition. Whether AOL intends to attempt to compete head-to-head with Gmail and Yahoo! has yet to be determined, but as of yesterday users of AIM 5.9 will have access to 2GB webmail inboxes, dubbed AIM Mail. It should be interesting to see how AOL stacks up in the free webmail industry, now that they are reaching out beyond their subscription base, but one thing's for sure, since this is AOL you can expect plenty of ads to go along with those 2GB.
