AIM Mail, AOL’s free web-based email service, shines with unlimited online storage, very good spam protection and a rich, easy to use interface. Unfortunately, AIM Mail lacks a bit in productivity (no labels, smart folders and message threading), but makes up for some of that with very functional IMAP (as well as POP) access.
Pros
- AIM Mail has stellar spam protection and solid security features
- A rich interface makes AIM Mail easy to use and integrates email with calendar and chat
- AIM Mail offers unlimited online email storage space and POP or IMAP access
Cons
- AIM Mail does not thread messages and offers no labels or smart folders for organizing them
- Sending messages using the web interface adds a tag line
- AIM Mail support can be tricky to reach
