    Looks like you misconfigured your SMTP server setting as imap.aol.com do
    not have smtp service, you should try to change it to smtp.aol.com or
    your ISPs smtp server.

    I have had the same problem. My e-mail worked perfectly fine last night and
    now i cannot send e-mails out. It is rather frustrating. I have the same
    error message. How do i go about changing it so that it functions as it
    should?

    Unless your error message is really identical, we will need to see it.
    Right-click on the error message, copy, then paste it into a reply here.

    If it is indeed identical, then the advice given by the previous responder
    holds. Go to Tools, Accounts, select the AOL account, Properties,
    Servers, edit the outgoing server name, click OK.

    Re: failed attempt to send email

    ok, so I got on with tech support and the e-mail that i was attemping to send
    was apparently corrupted. once i had deleted it and retyped it, it went out
    without any issues. I hope that this helps.
