In response to the problem of “cannot get email set up on a new Android phone”: I received the exact same message of “couldn’t open connection to server” even after following instructions. Solution for me was to enter mail.optonline.net for BOTH the incoming & outgoing servers. I had successful results afterwards.

I've been trying for a couple of weeks to get into my optimum email account. I follow the steps, but it comes up as "Duplicate account, You're already using this username for the account bob33rd@optonline.net" I have no problem on my computer but the email on the phone doesn't work. In the past it has, but no longer.
