“America Online is testing a Web-based e-mail service that will compete with Yahoo Mail, Microsoft’s Hotmail and Google’s Gmail.
Right now, the beta service is available to AOL subscribers only, but it will eventually be offered for free to the public, the company said on Wednesday. The service, dubbed “AOL Mail on the Web,” is expected to officially debut early next year for members, and later in the year for the public.”
So now America Online is cashing in on this cow, starting up their own free web based e-mail. I doubt that it will pose any kind of threat to the current online mail providers. Personally, I don’t see anything beating Gmail.

“You’ve got mail.” Gmail that is.
