as on aol helps page the setting for outlook are as fallows. you will have to fillin the blank for the diferences in the interfaces. but its all there. as far as the pictures go idont think i have eve had this happen to me. it could be that the pictures are just a format the sk doesnt suport. i dont know what that would be though.

Open Outlook 2002 or Outlook 2003.
On the Tools menu, click E-mail Accounts.
In the E-mail Accounts window, click Add a new e-mail account.
Click Next.
In the Server Type window, click IMAP.
Click Next.
In the Internet E-mail Settings (IMAP) window, enter the following information:
Your Name. Enter the name you wish to appear on outgoing e-mail.
E-mail Address. Enter your full AOL e-mail address, e.g., GabbyGrace@aol.com.
User Name. Enter your AOL screen name, e.g., beatrixn.
Password. Enter the password for your AOL account.
Incoming mail server (IMAP). Enter the following: imap.aol.com.
Outgoing mail server (SMTP). Enter the following: smtp.aol.com.
Click More Settings.
