I have been getting this too (for the last two days - on at least a dozen tries). I am Running Win7 and already have three POP accounts. All definitely have the incoming server pop.googlemail.com
I wanted to add a new IMAP account, so in T'Bird
Tools.... Account Settings
Account Actions ..... Add Mail Account
Filled in
my name,
the email address ([email protected] - and in gmail this mail account
was created as IMAP),
password (with a tick to remember this)
... continue
and it then detected the mail setup as IMAP,
Incoming : IMAP, imap.googlemail.com , SSL Outgoing : SMTP, smtp.googlemail.com , SSL Username: [email protected]
but when I then clicked on Done
it said Error Creating Account - Incoming server already exists.
And if I then clicked on OK followed by Manual Config, it then showed in the Mail Account Setup
Incoming: IMAP imap.googlemail.com 993 SSL/TLS Normal Password
and again if I then clicked Done it gave the same error message as before. (and I have screenshots to support all of this).
But I do not know if someone has been working on a fix to T'Bird or googlemail, because just now when I did it yet again in order to make a final check that what I have been writing here is correct , this time I did NOT get the error message and the new account has been setup!!!!!
So do others find this has now been cleared too?
