Q: mail.optonline.net is not responding

On my iphone4 my mail just stopped working midweek last week.  I have been to the optimum website double checked that all of my settings are correct.  I have even deleted the account and recreated it.  It still says that "the mail server mail.optonline.net is not responding".  Then is says to check my mail settings.  If I go to optimum's website I can access my email that way so the account is active.  Does anyone have any suggestions.  FYI I have not upgraded my iphone to ios7 and do not plan to.  I will be getting a newer version of the iphone in the next few months and i have not heard good things about the iphone4 and the newer operating system.
