We appreciate all the support from our AIM for Mac 1.0 users. Our goal for 2009 is to keep the progress going. We shipped the 1.0 version in December to build the foundation for a new AIM for Mac and we'll continue to build on that base. This week, we released AIM for Mac 1.1 Beta 1 to address some immediate issues reported by our users. In the coming months, we'll be adding new features requested by our users through the blog and AOL Beta Central.
Here's the list of fixed issues for Beta 1:
- ICQ accounts can now sign in
- Added Notes field to the Edit Buddy window
- Signing in issue after installing application
- IMs from iPhone AIM are displayed with a very large font size
- Invisibility goes away when switching "screens"
- Overlapping buddy list rows
- Enhancements to Buddy List search
Thanks!

1. I have a Mac running OS X with AOL Desktop 1.2.1 and here is the problem. This is a work computer, which some others use when I am not at my desk. When I am away, I sign off from AOL, but I just found out that if you click the mail button, all of my mail is showing, even though I am signed off!
Is there a way to change this? The whole point of being able to sign on and off is so that my mail has a password on it and can't be read by others, but I can't find a way to do this, and right now anyone who simply opens AOL Desktop can read all my mail. Without a password protection feature, I can't use AOL for email any longer.
Thank you!

2. AOL mac team must make a new ICQ client. Last ICQ client was in 2003.
Or at least add to AIM client: ICQ-search and showing ICQ details for ICQ numbers.

4. Two features that I really would like are custom buddy icons, and the ability to re-format incoming messages. I'm not a fan of "Expressions" and would love to be able to just see a uniform background and font for all of my incoming IMs.
Thanks for bringing AIM back to life though! I never thought we'd see an official client on OS X again.

6. I want to export my contacts/address book from aol to other mail programs, and I don't think aol has ever offered that. Is there a way to do it?
