AOL will soon be releasing what will be known as AOL Communicator. This will be a standalone software for AOL email and Aol instant messenger. AOL does not yet know whether this new software will be sold to companies, be available for only AOL subscribers, or if it will be free like AIM.
The software comes with an identity manager that lets a person digitally sign and encrypt e-mails and instant messages, a function that would likely appeal to business users. The e-mail client also lets a person send and manage e-mail using different accounts, by forwarding messages from POP or IMAP (Internet message access protocol) e-mail servers.
Many functions currently available on AOL Communicator are linked together. Instant messaging users are alerted when buddies send them e-mails, and users can click address book entries to immediately send e-mails or instant messages to contacts.
