Configure Outlook Express or Microsoft Outlook to send email on AOL connection

Use any account for the incoming email:- blueyonder, yahoo, aol, orange, talk talk

set the outgoing mail server to smtp.aol.com

click on my server requires authentication and then click settings

Enter your AOL screen name and screen password

go to more settings or Advanced and enter 587 for the outgoing server port

THIS IS THE BIT MOST ANSWERS MISS – no matter what email address you are receiving with you must enter your AOL email address in the first email address box for the mail account settings.

(If you want to use an alternative email for replies, enter the reply email address in the reply address box on the General tab.)
