AOL Updates 'Cayman' Webmail Beta

AOL pushed an update Monday to the beta site for its webmail product, code-named "Cayman." Changes in this refresh focused on enhancements to the overall look and feel of the application, as well as performance improvements. A more streamlined interface has been introduced that will allow for quicker navigation, along with the option to either read messages inline or pop-out as they currently do.

In addition, updates were made to the Side Panel feature, allowing the user to easily e-mail and IM contacts with just one click, as well as view upcoming events and to-do items. AOL said it planned to add more functionality as the beta progresses. The new version is available for testing from the AOL Beta site.
