How do I send mail when connected using AOL?
You will need to set up your mail client in the usual way (see the relevant knowledgebase entry for your mail client), but instead of using port 25, you may need to change the outgoing port to 587. This is due to AOL blocking mail on port 25 (see see http://postmaster.info.aol.com/faq/port25faq.html for more information on this)
