AOL mail won't send. "A copy has been placed in your Outbox. Sending the message content to the server failed."

After purchasing a new 4S my AOL mail won't send. I can receive emails from this AOL account, but when I try to send or reply receive this message: "A copy has been placed in your Outbox. Sending the message content to the server failed."

I used my AOL account just fine on my Iphone 4.

I've tried all the suggestions I've read online thus far to no avail. Please HELP!

Also, AOL is one of 4 emails I use. Yes, AOL is old. Yes, I still use it. Please just answer my question, I don't care how old and out-dated AOL is.

The only thing that worked for me was to do what some have suggested below... login to the AOL account from your browser or a Computer and enter the captcha requirements for AOL. AOL blocks you from sending emails until you do this probably to prevent spam, etc. AOL has never done this until this past year for me. I don't believe you need to do anything else other than this as I tried changing ports, etc... before I came across the suggestion to go to AOL. Here's a shortcut that someone else posted http://challenge.aol.com/spam.html or you can go directly to www.aol.com and it should bring up the captcha screen when you login.
