Trying to add Accounts but TB says that the "Incoming Server already exists"
Having issues when setting up new email accounts that error out. Sometimes the handshake between Gmail and TB is shaky. TB will sometimes bulk on setting up an account if it doesn't get everything exactly right the first time. Then when you correct it - it tells you that the "Incoming Server already exists". However it doesn't show it in the Account Manager pane so that you can delete it and start over. Therefore because you can't delete and start over but it thinks it exists you can never add the account that you were trying to add. Any remedy?

Lets get this clear before you do anymore damage. Unfortunately there does appear to be a bug in the new account wizard that left you add duplicate account names. You change account settings in Account setting. Not in setting up the account again so I am guessing the developers never though people would try and fix things by adding the account again. You can change the account name in the account settings and it will allow you to add a duplicate. But it does try and prevent the confusion having duplicate names would create. As a matter of fact I think you will find the cursor blinking in the account name field just waiting for you to change the name and remover the duplication, so you and the system are not confused. Try adding a 1 at the end if you can not think of anything else to call it. You are breaking a duplication problem so the name is really irrelevant.
