Windows Mail

[JM]

My operating system is Vista. I setup windows mail for the first time and it
worked ok. Since then, I can receive mail. I get the following message:

Account: 'imap.aol.com', Server: 'imap.aol.com', Protocol: POP3, Server
Response: '-ERR Unknown AUTHORIZING state command', Port: 110, Secure(SSL):
No, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC18


What do I need to do the receive mail. Sending mail is ok.

AOL does not recommend using port 110 POP mail.
They recommend the IMAP protocol which uses port 143.
Follow these setup instructions:
