AOLis SMTP port is 587.
Information on using AOL with Outlook is at
http://www.slipstick.com/addins/services/online.htm#aol - including the port
and server names for users who can set up the account themselves and a link
to Open Mail Access for those who need step-by-step instructions in setting
up the IMAP account.
