Anyone know what i need to do?

I just set up outlook 2000 with my aol email. And when i select
send/receive email this propt comes up.
 
Check the mode you have Outlook 2000 running under (Help|About, the second
line of text will say "No Email", "Internet Mail Only", or
"Corporate/Workgroup"). IMAP (which AOL requires) is only available in
Internet Mail Only mode. The error you're getting suggests you may be
running Outlook 2000 under Corporate/Workgroup mode where the IMAP service
is not available:

If you need to change modes, instructions are here:
