E-mailing problems

I am currently with talk talk as a service provider. Because I have been with them before they took over I have a worldonline e-mail address.
Using the i pad mail application I have two accounts which have been working perfectly up until a few days ago.
A worldonline account and an i cloud account.
The worldonline account is my default one in the settings.
I don't recall any updates or setting changes being made by myself.
When I now try to send an e mail from my worldonline account I get the message "cannot send mail, the connection to the server smtp.worldonline.co.uk failed. Additional outgoing mail servers can be configured in settings> Mail, contacts, calendars." .?????
I go to my desktop computer which uses the same outgoing mail setting and it sends fine.
I use my wife's i pad, which is connected to the same router by wi-fi of course, and it sends fine.
I have went over all my settings and cannot see a thing wrong or changed from what it used to be?
I can now only send an e-mail using the i cloud account?
They use the same router don't they?
Why am I experiencing this ?
If I now compose an e- mail in my worldonline account, with or without an attatchment, it will not send and I get the above message?
Is Apple experiencing issues with e-mail accounts at the moment.
Is this a temporary glitch?
Help!!
 
What helps in most cases is to delete the email account that refuses to send emails, and install them again.
 
Many thanks JA.
Deleted the account.
Reinstalled and now it sends and receives.
It also returned a whole load of e mails I had long gone deleted? But no problem, deleted again
Thanks
