I get the following error message:
The message could not be sent. The authentication setting might not be
correct for your outgoing e-mail [SMTP] server. For help solving this
problem, go to Help, search for "Troubleshoot Windows Mail", and read the
"I'm having problems sending e-mail" section. If you need help determining
the proper server settings, please contact your e-mail service provider.

The rejected e-mail address was '(e-mail address removed)'. Subject 'Child

One problem is that "imap.aim.com" is wrong for the account. The
"imap.aim.com" should only be in the Incoming mail (IMAP) box. Check the AOL
help pages for details; double check the instructions and ensure you have
everything else correct.
