Email Accounts

Can anyone tell me why i keep getting error messages even though i have
entered my server as POP3; outgoing mail server as smtp.aol.com; and incoming
as pop.aol.com. I am not able to send mail, it keeps saying server taking too
long or it can't be found.Do i need to turn off my firewall? Your help is
appreciated

I guess Vista Mail would be the same.

Looks like it's supposed to be IMAP, not POP3
