Aol receives email but does not send emails.

I was having a problem with my AOL account set up on my droid's and could not send emails out.  I went all over the web and could not find an answer.  I went to Verizon store today and I kid you not an hour later we got it to work.

 

Go to app menu the lower middle circle triangle

go to settings

go to accounts

click on AOL email

go to outgoing server

smtp.aol.com

port-465

username

pass

and check both squares

use secure connection and verify cert..

 

I hope this helps someone too!!

Good luck!

Thanks for that advice, and I'm glad it worked for you.  When I first got the Droid X, I had a problem with my AOL mail not getting to my phone quickly (sometimes it took a day or longer), and occasionally, the mail would not send.  I started using K9 email app from the Market, and the mail gets to me within a few minutes (most times) and I've had no problems sending mail.
