Click to expand...

What you have done is to include "port:587" in the server name.

Go into Tools > Accounts > your email account > Properties > Servers
and ensure the SMTP server name reads "'smtp.aol.com"

Then go to the "Advanced" tab within Properties
and change Outgoing mail (SMTP) port number to 587

Don't forget to click on "Apply"
