Ok, what did I do wrong this time? Connection issue
As a # of you know I have AOL on my computer; been using it since '95. The journalists know it. It works for me, so I've kept it. Ok, that's out of the way. 
Most of the time I just log into my account, but there are times when I want to check my email but not actually log into the full version because a couple of clients have me as a buddy/can see me on AIM. Usually that's not a problem, but there are times when I'm doing work, don't want to be IM'd (they assume that because I'm logged in that I'm available to drop everything & respond to them), so just clicking on IE, and then typing http://aolmail.aol.com lets me check my email/send etc, but keeps me 'hidden' from the AIM/IM portion.
Been that way for ages, including even yesterday when I did it. Today, I try to access it & get a internet explorer can't open that webpage message. Now obviously I'm connected to the internet so it's not a connection per se problem.
But I finally clicked on the diagnostic, and received the following message:
"aolmail.aol.com is not set up to establish a connection on port world wide web service HTTP with this computer"
So what I did I do wrong/why did it change from yesterday to today, and how do I get it sorted out? Any input appreciated.
Cheers.

Since I have an aol email for web sites, I tried your link and it didn't work for me. (I didn't know that url.) However, when I need to get mail from the Web instead of downloading, I've been going to aol.com and clicking on the mail sign-in icon, which works every time.

I use this link to go direct to the AOL mail site. This link redirects immediately to another address (below) for your login.

A bit ironic considering the reputation AOL used to have regarding folks trying to cancel accounts.
Strange but true.
