Have you found the instructions on how to add an AOL account?

1) Be sure you aren't listing a "reply to" or "return" address which
is different from the login address --AOL has a bunch of filyters on
their outgoing mail that perevents stuff that is common to many
providers.
2) Be sure you have the correct port numbers --- AOL does't use
"standard" ports for their server.
