AIM Mail (AOLMAIL.CM - mis-typing) is a webmail service provided by AOL. Its main competitors are Gmail, MSN Hotmail and Yahoo! Mail. The "AIM" in the name stands for AOL Instant Messenger, AOL's instant messaging program.

With AOLMail, you've got quick, easy access to everything you need to stay in touch.  Now you can easily view your messages, Buddy List, contacts, calendar, pictures and more - without ever leaving your email inbox. AOL Mail puts it all on one page so everything you need is just a click away.

AOLMAIL History
AOL purchased MailBlocks on August 4, 2004, to add an application-like web interface to its AOL Mail service.  This interface is also showcased in AIM Mail.

AOL MAIL Features
AIM Mail has the following features available at no cost:

2 GB quota
16 MB attachments
Spam protection
Virus protection
Spell checking
Integration with AIM presence
Message unsend capability (provided the message is sent to another AOL or AIM mailbox).

Advertising is displayed while working with the e-mail account. Users can also read and send mail using IMAP capable clients, such as Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird, and Apple Mail.


AOLMAIL Disadvantages
Although AIM mail uses IMAP, it does not allow for creation of folders beyond the default setup, which most other clients allow. Also, the current setup of their web-based interface does not show Display Names of received messages, but the entire email address of the sender, resulting in a much messier appearance.
