Dulles, Va. -- Attempting to gain an edge on rivals Google, Yahoo and MSN, America Online on Monday became the first online service to offer unlimited email storage to its members. With the move, AOL members using nearly 80 million AOL Mail accounts will be able to save and store an unlimited number of emails, attachments and folders on the company's servers. "Our members will be able to keep every single message and attachment they ever receive, if they wish," said Mark Greatrex, the executive vice president of access marketing for AOL. Also on Monday, AOL officially launched its free, web-based email service, known as AIM Mail. The service features two gigabytes of storage. AOL launched a test version of the service in early May.
