I found these which may work.

* AOL Mail POP server address: pop.aol.com
* AOL Mail POP user name: Your AOL Mail screen name (what precedes "@aol.com" in your AOL Mail address; if the address is me@aol.com, for instance, the screen name is "me")
* AOL Mail POP password: Your AOL Mail password
* AOL Mail POP port: 995
* AOL Mail POP TLS/SSL required: yes

You don't need to worry about the port on mail2web but you may need to specify SSL using the checkbox on the advanced login page.

That said, when issues crop up with major email addresses like those powered by AOL it's usually a safe bet that AOL is just have some outages causing it to be innaccessible in anyway and it will likely be cleared up within a few hours. The advanced login in such a case is just to be sure :)
