i am trying to send out email but it won't go out. i was told that if i have
aol., i have to change certain settings. what do i do?
 
I think AOL blocks port 25 outbound from their network. Whose SMTP server
are you using? Maybe they also allow access via another port.

Call AOL. You are paying them, right?

Somewhere in their help web pages they describe the settings for their IMAP
and SMTP servers (they don't provide POP3). It's been a year and a half
since AOL started providing their IMAP and SMTP servers (so you didn't get
stuck having to use their proprietary clients to handle their proprietary
IMAP-like mail protocol). I'm not an AOL user but do recall eventually
finding it although obviously I can't use their keywords, like "Open Mail
Access". Try reading http://members.aol.com/adamkb/aol/mailfaq/imap/.
