AOL Launching Free Email But Not "Creepy" AdSense Ads
AOL is to offer free web-based email, initially to users of its AIM instant messaging client, then later to anyone. The move is designed to help it keep up with competitors

While AOL uses both Google’s search-targeted and contextually-targeted ads, contextually-targeted ads won’t be coming to email in the way that they do in Google’s own
Gmail. “That’s creepy,” said an AOL executive, about the planned move.
