Introducing AOL Mail Gadget for iGoogle

Written by guest blogger Rohit Kinra, Sr. Product Manager, AOL Mail

We’ve been hard at work for the past couple of months on developing web-based gadgets for all AOL mail users (AOL, AIM, or My eAddress).  A gadget is a "light-weight single-purpose program" on a web site, designed to perform a specific function. 

We're now releasing another web-based gadget for all of you who use iGoogle for your homepage (yes, we do play nicely with our competitors  :-)  ).  And we are busy working on more gadgets for more of your favorite websites, so keep checking back with us.

All the gadgets 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 (and other sites in the future).  The gadgets allow 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.


Our first version is US English only, but we are working hard to make a global version with the following languages:

French (France)
German (Germany)
English (US)
English (United Kingdom)
English (Canada)
English (India)
Spanish (US)
Spanish (Spain)
Italian (Italy)
Swedish (Sweden)
Chinese (China)
Dutch (Netherlands)

If you want to try the AOL mail gadget for Google, you can load it into your iGoogle page.  Click here to try it now.

Thanks and we hope you enjoy the new gadgets.  Please let us know what you think of them.

Enjoy,
Rohit Kinra
