thanks again steve,
i think i already realise this but does that mean then, that i cannot set up a pop3 mail account and set it's smtp server to be the AOL one. All i need is an SMTP server to send outgoing mail.
Last time i tried to do this was a few years ago and the only way i could get it to work then was by using an smtp server that allowed anonymous sendng, whose ip address was given to me by a freind. As i can't remember this IP i cannot do this again. AOL just told me flatly that in no way was it possible to use a pop3 account.

EDIT EDIT EDIT
===========================
I have now managed to get it to work, as steve posted you need to put your aol screename into the outgoing mail server login details BUT if you put a password in it will NOT work - You must leave the password blank, and it will work.
This is pretty strange but who cares if it works
