I have my account set up without Outlook using an IMAP server setting. You can find instructions at the following site: https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/48924/~/droid---aol-email-set-up

The interesting thing is that the server setting used to be imap.cs.com but without any announcement, it has changed to imap.aol.com. If you use this server address for both outgoing and incoming settings, it will work.
