#5)...do this and it will work fine(it worked for me!!).

Step 1: Add the AOL e-mail account
To add an AOL e-mail account in Outlook Express, follow these steps:1. Sign
on to AOL.
2. Start Outlook Express. If Outlook Express is not your default e-mail
client, you may be prompted to specify if you want to use Outlook Express as
your default e-mail client. To select Outlook Express as your default e-mail
client, click OK.
3. If you are prompted to type your name in the Display name box, click
Cancel, and then click Yes when you receive the following message:
The new Internet account has not been created yet. Are you sure you want to
exit the wizard?
4. In Outlook Express, click Accounts on the Tools menu.
5. Click Add, and then click Mail.
6. In the Display name box, type your name as you want it to appear on your
outgoing e-mail messages, and then click Next.
7. In the E-mail address box, type your AOL e-mail alias. For example, type
(E-Mail Removed).
8. Click Next.
9. In the My incoming mail server is a list, click IMAP.
10. In the Incoming mail (POP3, IMAP, or HTTP) server box, type
imap.aol.com.
11. In the Outgoing mail (SMTP) server box, type smtp.aol.com, and then
click Next.
12. In the Account name box, type your AOL account name.
13. In the Password box, type your AOL account password.
14. If you want Outlook Express to save your password, leave the Remember
password check box selected.
15. Click Next, and then click Finish.

Step 2: Configure the AOL e-mail account
After you add the AOL e-mail account, you must configure this account in
Outlook Express. To do this, follow these steps:1. When you return to the
Internet Accounts dialog box after you complete the steps from the "Step 1:

Properties.

5. In the Outgoing mail (SMTP box), leave the default SMTP port number as
25, DO NOT CHANGE IT TO 587. (for me, it did not matter weather I checked the
SSL button)

Note By default, the SMTP port number is 25.
6. Click Apply, and then click the IMAP tab.
7. Click to clear the Store special folders on IMAP server check box, click
Apply, and then click OK.
8. Click Apply, and then click OK.
9. Click Close. If you receive the following message, click Yes:

Hi:

My Dad has a new computer and wants his aol to go through his windows mail.
I have followed all directions and it does not work. He can not send mail.
Your directions say there are imap tabs. We do not have that on our account
set up screen. We have originally set it up as a POP 3 for incoming mail.
Does POP 3 affect outgoing mail? Incoming work works fine. We have Windows
XP Vista

This entire section is redundant because the same posting does not apply to
people who do not have aol. Does anyone out there know how to create a wizard
