Who is the mail provider for the account that has already been established on the provider's site? Accounts are added to TB from File/New/Existing Mail Account. Do you connect through a VPN?

I closed Thunderbird - that then displayed the add new email account window. When entered the account details - thunderbird then said the email account already existed. So I closed the add new email account window and reopened thunderbird. Now I can enter new accounts.
