The New AIM Panel is coming this week!

Hi,

Later this week, we'll be unveiling the new AIM Panel in the Web Suite! (on 6/28) This is the highly-anticipated feature that's been talked about by the press recently and it'll be available for you to see it very soon. We'll be beta testing the next version of the Web Suite, which contains this new AIM Panel. The only way you'll be able to see it is by clicking a link after it's released--it will not automatically show up in your account. As usual, you can always switch back and forth between the upcoming beta version of the Web Suite and the version you are using now.

Some of the details of the new AIM Panel include:
* A new Panel on the right side of the screen, which can be slid open or closed
* You can set your availability and away message
* Independent login for the Web Suite and AIM - just one click away
* Allows multiple chats in the same window
* Presence Icons in the message header so that you can IM them with a real-time reply instead of email
* All the Panels on the right side can be closed and its opened/closed state will be remembered the next time you log in
* Supports most of the main features available in the full AIM program, such as custom Away Message
* Works with the Linked Screen Name feature


Below is a screen shot of the upcoming AIM Panel and what a chat window will look like. As most things in technology, it'll be refined as we receive your feedback on it, so let us know what you think by leaving a comment here.


Although unrelated to the new AIM Panel, there is now full support of both IMAP and POP3 for accessing your account using an email program, all for free. Some companies charge extra for that service.

'Til next time,
Tae
