I'm still getting the error message, "Couldn't Open Connection to Server". No matter how many of these forums I follow, my phone will simply NOT add my optonline emails. They used to be on this phone, but they were acting up so i was told to remove them then add them again and that was the last time I was able to see emails on my phone.

How do I add a widget on my home screen that is linked to my optonline email? I've already added the account to my phone.

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.
