Check with AOL to see what the problem is. They use a non-standard IMAP method for sending and receiving mails. They have the instructions, not Outlook.

Folks:
I found the answer, here it is for all AOL customers using Outlook, go
verify your account or screen name to the following site:
challenge.aol.com/spam/html then enter the images on the screen and that
indicates to AOL that you can enter and use the Outlook protocol...So far is
working for me...Regards...
