I work for AOL and I've seen the beta version (there are still a lot of bugs in it that have to be worked out). So far, it looks really good. My favorite new features are the pop-up blocker (which is currently available as part of AOL 8.0 Plus) and the advanced spam filters.

The new spam filters will have what's called "keyword filtering" (not to be confused with AOL Keywords). For example, if you get a lot of e-mail with the word "viagra" in it, put "viagra" in your keyword filtering. Any e-mail containing that word will automatically be deleted. I believe you can download the preview version at KW: beta, but I'd wait until all the bugs are worked out (I'll let you know). The final version will be available later this summer.

They're working on one, but it won't be out anytime soon, unfortunately.
