Check your mail settings and see does it get the error while on wifi or 3G ?

fairly simple issue.

You are using AOL servers but for smtp you are using a different server. Go through settings and change accordingly to get it going.

Thanks guys. Don't know what I did. But sent a couple of test messages out and they went through

Probably either on a different wifi or you were on wifi before and now on 3g. Either way the problem will happen again if the mail server (smtp) settings are incorrect.
