Under Incoming Email Server (POP3) details:

How do I check my Web-Based Email Account?

ICQ uses POP3 Email servers to check your email. These servers are usually provided by ISPs to their clients.

Web-based email uses their own internal servers to send and receive email, and don't use POP3 servers. You therefore cannot send or receive email via services like Hotmail, Yahoo! Mail or other web-based email services.

AOL, like web-based email, uses its own server to send and receive email. ICQ cannot be configured to check AOL email.
