Right-click on the account in the Folder pane and select Properties. At the
bottom of the Servers tab, tick "My server requires authentication".
In the good old days, anyone could send mail to any old SMTP server. Now, to
combat spam, most will only accept messages from their own customers (in
your case, AOL), so you have to convince the server that you are in fact an
AOL customer by transmitting your password. Ticking that box will do just
that.

Hi thanks for your reply. I corrected the mistake.... and it is now coming
up
with the following error;
The message could not be sent because the server rejected the sender's
e-mail address. The sender's e-mail address was ''.
Subject 'TEST'
Server Error: 556
Server Response: 556 CLIENT AUTHENTICATION REQUIRED. USE ESMTP EHLO AND
AUTH.
Server: 'smtp.aol.com'
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC78
Protocol: SMTP

What do I do now?
Thankyou
