setting up an email account on ipod

I have already established an AOL account on the ipod. When I try to set up another AOL account I receive the message: The user name or password for "imap.aol.com" is incorrect. My account that is already set up uses: smtp.aol.com as outgoing mail server. How can I assign this server to my new account?


iPod Shuffle (2nd Gen)

Thank you for the reply. However, the aol account that is currently working was set up years ago and I never had any interaction with aol. All I did was fill out the information under contacts, etc and it was done.
On the original account setup, the Outgoing Mail Server was automatically setup as: smtp.aol.com. The new account is using imap.aol.com and I don't know why.

Much appreciated

Again, you need to ask aol, since you're using their account. Nothing to do with apple or your ipod.
