Jaffa.

In windows mail it's under tools > accounts and then select the email account and click properties


Tick that



Replace 25 with 587

Try it with the SSL connection boxes ticked too, if it still does not work, untick them.

Notice how some of the words are blue? They're hyperlinks, one of which led directly to a tutorial which would have told you precisely how to get Windows Mail working with your AOL e-mail account. Mind you, it didn't have any pictures which are kinda useful in these sorts of situations. :rolleyes:
