How AOL Mail Works

AOL Mail, also called AIM Mail, may be a recent development in America Online's long (by Internet standards) history. AOL has always offered e-mail service, but only to its paying customers and only through its proprietary, all-in-one software package. However, within the spring of 2005, AOL launched its first free Webmail service, referred to as AOL Mail.

AOL Mail differs from AOL's traditional e-mail program because it doesn't require special software, and it's available for free of charge to anyone, not just AOL subscribers. AOL Mail, like other Web mail programs, runs over the web using standard Web browsers like Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, et cetera. AOL Mail users simply attend mail.aol.com, enter their login information and begin sending e-mails.

You can still download AOL's all-in-one Internet software and use the built-in e-mail program (the latest is named AOL Desktop and it's free). For the needs of this text , we're getting to specialise in the online mail version of AOL Mail.

AOL launched AOL Mail as a part of its move from a subscriber-based service to an internet portal. By 2005, Yahoo, MSN and Google had already established themselves as free Web portals where visitors could catch abreast of news and access Web-based e-mail, IM and calendar programs [source: eWeek.com].

For AOL to compete within the Web portal race, it needed to up the ante, so it released AIM Mail with 2GB of free storage, an outsized number at the time. AOL now offers unlimited space for storing with all AOL Mail accounts.

In this HowStuffWorks article, we're getting to explain exactly how AOL Mail works, from fixing an account to the service's basic and advanced features. Let's start .
