I was just reading their announcement, and I noticed this:

Unsend Message: Users can cancel and unsend a message after it's been sent to another AOL or AIM Mail user if the message has not been read. Users can also check the status of a message sent to an AOL or AIM user and confirm if and when the message has been read.

This is horrible.
What this essentially does is allow a user to reach into another person's inbox and delete a message! Yeah they sent the email but it's not their mailbox. This should set off major privacy alarms. And this has the capability to be exploited (through a bug in either AIM or AIM's browser engine, which is the same as IE's) where a malicious user can gain access to everything in somebody else's mailbox.
