AIM and Messages Connection Problems

I've been having trouble lately make a connection to AIM with Messages. I deleted the AIM account in Messages and tried recreating the IM account, but it says I have the wrong user name or password. I can connect via the AIM website using the same credentials. Any suggestions to make it work again?

iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10)

I found the solution. I was trying to add the messages account using the AOL. selection in "Add Account." That's wrong. Instead I entered the account info using the "Other messages account" selection, and that worked.
