AOL has offered Web-based e-mail for many years, but the service has been restricted to subscribers only. But soon that will change, AOL has begun beta test of it’s own web mail service.

Now America Online is testing a new Web e-mail service that will help it compete with others like, Yahoo Mail, Microsoft's Hotmail and Google's Gmail. AOLs web e-mail will include storage with a limit of 100MB.

You will be able to set "rich" text options, such as different fonts and colors. The revamped interface resembles Microsoft's Outlook, where e-mail messages can be organized into folders. Like other Web e-mail services Yahoo Mail and Hotmail, AOL's software includes address book contacts, a message search bar, spam controls and signatures.
The beta is at the moment only available for AOL subscribers. The service, "AOL Mail on the Web," is expected to officially debut early next year for members, and later in the year for everyone.

AOL Last month announced it would start to compete more vigorously in the portal market.

It can't compete with gmail.. 1 GB is really unbeatable. and it can't compete with hotmail's newly arrived 2GB. really? what are they thinking? 100 MB? Not enough to satisfy their own customers.
