I have had similiar problems. Do you think this is a software issue with
Microsoft Vista?

The connection to the server has failed. Account: 'windows mail', Server:
'pop.aol.com', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error:

AOL no longer supports POP. They recommend setting up an IMAP account.
Follow these instructions:
http://postmaster.aol.com/imap/express.html

Those instructions were written for OE, but will work fine for Windows Mail.

Thank you Gary. I have followed the instructions.
Question . My incoming port is 143. Should I change it?
There were no instructions on AOL to do so.

 

[Gary VanderMolen]

Port 143 is correct for incoming IMAP mail.
