According to an online dictionary, condole is a verb that means "express sympathy for (someone); grieve with." Its synonyms are commiserate and sympathize.
It almost looks like someone took the word condolence and made a verb of it.
I guess you learn something new every day. And, no, I won't use condole in spoken or written speech. If I need it, I'll use sympathize.
