youm0nt Veteran Posted November 28, 2002 Veteran Share Posted November 28, 2002 Online giant is testing a stand-alone e-mail client with built-in IM features, but can it compete with Microsoft? link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CdCViRus Posted November 28, 2002 Share Posted November 28, 2002 Ha ha - dont make me laugh AOL Sux Kock - AOL will be miserably humiliated by M$ No matter what AOL does, it will never oust M$ And besides, who uses this piece of sh!t, AIM, anywayz? So why the heck should I need an "integrated IM" (WOW, AN INTEGRATED IM - THIS MUST BE GOOD...) AOL SUX KOCK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonMEGA Posted November 28, 2002 Share Posted November 28, 2002 It will just be a modded netscape communicator w/ aim built in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangbang023 Veteran Posted November 28, 2002 Veteran Share Posted November 28, 2002 I just downloaded the leaked build and guys this is looking really good. Things are still in their early stages but the email client is very fast (faster than outlook 11) and the new version of AIM has a lot new features that will soon be implemented. I hate AOL but damn this is looking sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangbang023 Veteran Posted November 28, 2002 Veteran Share Posted November 28, 2002 The following is thanks to Tech-Critic.com: Tech-Critic has gotten it's hands on an early version of the much talked about AOL Communicator. After testing it myself, the e-mail client is very fast and responsive, but lacks some features that will surely be implemented over time. It will work with either an AOL mail account or a regular POP3 account. Also included is a special version of the AIM client which sports features such as Secure IM and "Personalities." Both programs look very promising. There is one limit on this build, it expires on 2/12/2003.
