If the AOL email is an IMAP account, then that should happen. If it is a POP, account then it can't be done. This is really an email provider issue and not an Apple or iPhone issue. For more info, see:

Do not mess with these settings if you don't know what you are doing, but you may want to sere the "Enter account settings manually" section of:
