* how to use vista mail* with aol
There are two steps to setting up vista mail (formally outlook express)
to read and send AOL e-mail. First, you need to create a new e-mail
account in Outlook Express. Once the e-mail account is created, you need
to configure your Outlook Express e-mail account so you can send and
receive your AOL e-mail.
*To create a new e-mail account in Outlook Express*
- Sign on to AOL.
- Open Outlook Express. (If Outlook Express is not your default mail
client, you may be prompted to specify whether you want to use it as
the default by clicking *OK*).
- From the Outlook Express *Tools* menu, click *Accounts*.
- In the Internet Accounts dialog box, click *Add* and then click
*Mail*.
- In the Internet Connection Wizard, in the *Display name* field,
enter your name as you would like it to appear on your outgoing e-mail
messages.
- Click *Next*.
- In the *E-mail address* field, enter your full e-mail address,
e.g., GabbyGrace@xxxxxxxx
- Click *Next*.
- On the E-mail Server Names screen, select *IMAP* from the drop-down
menu.
- In the *Incoming mail server* field, enter: imap.aol.com.
- In the *Outgoing mail server* field, enter: smtp.aol.com.
- Click *Next*.
- On the Internet Mail Logon screen, enter your AOL screen name in
the *Account name* field.
- Enter the password for your AOL account in the *Password* field.
- If you want Outlook Express to save your password, leave the
*Remember password* check box selected.
- Click *Next*.
- Click *Finish*.
*To configure your Outlook Express e-mail account*
- When you are returned to the Internet Accounts dialog box, click
the *Mail* tab. (If the Internet Accounts dialog box is not open,
click the *Tools* menu and then click *Accounts*).
- Select your *AOL IMAP* account.
- Click *Properties*.
- In the Properties dialog box, click the *Servers* tab.
- In the Outgoing Mail Server section, click the *My server requires
authentication* check box.
- Click *Apply*.
- Click the *Advanced* tab.
- In the *Outgoing mail (SMTP):* field, change the number that
displays to *587*.
- Click *Apply*.
- Click the *IMAP* tab.
- In the Special Folders section, click the *Store special folders on
IMAP server* check box to deselect it.
- Click *Apply*.
- Click *OK*.
- Click *Close*.
*Notes*
- If you receive a message prompting you to download folders from the
mail server, click *Yes*.

the last configuring steps change to 587 etc. and now it works
