I was having the same problem. Now I have figured it out.
Here's what to do.

Go to Tools, then Account Settings
Click New Email, then Next
Click the "Manually configure" checkbox to the bottom, then click Next
Choose "Interet Email" checkbox, then click Next
Enter Name and Email
Set Account Type as Imap, Enter Incoming as imap.aol.com, Enter Outgoing as smtp.aol.com
Enter User Name and Password
Click "Require authorization"
Click "More Setting"
GO to "Outgoing Server" Tab, select "My outgoing server.." and "Use same"
Go to "Advanced" Tab, set port incoming: 143, outgoing: 587
Select Auto under "Use the following.." for both incoming and outgoing servers
Click OK, then "Test Account Settings"
If fails check again to make sure all the settings are correct. (The program may change them after you set them)

I hope this helps.
