tried to send some tonight and it did not work.

Unfortunately AOL does not use POP or SMTP mail but has its own protocols
and is therefore incompatible with Outlook and Outlook Express. You have
two options... change ISPs to one that does use standard email transport so
you can use Outlook or keep using AOL and its own email software.

if you do a search on Google, there are one or two third-party programs that
will do this - you cannot do it without, unfortunately.
