THE GOOD
AOL Web Mail has an integrated calendar, to-do list, blogging, pictures; unlimited storage; keyboard shortcuts; IMAP desktop access; can keep multiple messages open at the same time; built-in chatting in progress.
THE BAD
Aggravating sign-in process; graphical ads appear within interface of AOL Web Mail; separates read and unread messages; lacks built-in audio player.
THE BOTTOM LINE
Novel features and useful integration with AOL's other services may make this a natural fit for AOL devotees, but setup and sign-in woes caused us to curse.
