America Online is launching yet another free product - an ad-supported email service tied to its AOL Instant Messenger (AIM), according to an AP story. Users will be able to send and receive mail with "aim.com" addresses using their AIM screen names. Users need the latest version of AIM software, available as a beta download today, but eventually they'll be able to use the service from any Web browser. A key difference between the subscription-based AOL mail and free AIM mail will be in ad placement. Ads appears on the bottom for paid AOL accounts, but on top in the free AIM service
