Can not send windows mail

[Donna]

Hi everyone, I can send email from all accounts but not usings windows mail.
Each time I try, I get a message that I don't understand.
I believe when I was setting something up for Windows to go through my AOL
account something went wrong.

The host 'SMTP.mail.aol.com' could not be found. Please verify that you have
entered the server name correctly.

Donna,
in AOL Mail acct Properties window, on the Advance Tab> Change the Outgoing Port
setting from 25 to 587. Your ISP or AOL may be blocking your access to Port:25
for the AOL Mail Outgoing Mail server.

Wrong server name, wrong port number. Use these settings:
