That is what I am doing. There seems to be something unique with AOL. I  can add gmail accounts with no problem. In addition, when selecting the account type AOL is not an option.

There seems to be an issue connecting to AOL server.   The AOL server is now AOL SMTP Server which there is no space on keyboard that comes up where you key in server info. ThT May be the issue.

Make sure you use the correct information and don't let outlook try and do this for you. Instead, set it up manually.

Have you setup two step authenication for AOL Mail?

If yes, you need to create an app password.
