Auto setup fails because Outlook guesses old Verizon servers that don't exist any more. Add it manually as IMAP: incoming imap.aol.com port 993 with SSL, outgoing smtp.aol.com port 465 with SSL, username is your full verizon.net address. The password is the part that catches everyone. Your normal password will not work in Outlook. Sign in to the AOL account page in a browser, go to account security, and generate an app password there, then paste that into Outlook instead of your real one.
