AOL Mail Login, also called AIM Mail, is 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 it is proprietary, all-in-one software package. However, in
the spring of 2005, AOL launched its first free Webmail service, known as
AOL Mail login.
AOL Mail differs from AOL's traditional e-mail program because it doesn't require special software, and it's available for free to anyone, not just AOL subscribers. AOL Mail, like other Webmail programs, runs over the Internet using standard Web browsers such as
Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, et cetera. AOL Mail users simply go to mail.aol.com, enter their login information and start sending e-mails.
