New AOL Mail module for iGoogle Users

Enable the Subscriptions block here!

We’ve been hard at work for the past couple of weeks on developing a web-based gadget for all of you who use iGoogle for your homepage. The gadget will show you new mail in your AOL , AIM , or My eAddress mailboxes.

So, now you can find out about the new mail in your mailbox even while your surfing on Google. The gadget allows you to:

  • See new mail with their subject lines, whom they are from, and when you got them.
  • See the number of new mail messages in your mailbox.
  • Compose a new mail message… We will link you right into our Web Suite and you can begin writing your new mail.
  • Set how many new mail messages you want to see (5, 10, or 15).
  • Set the background color when displaying your new mail.
