Trying to change server settings so it searches for new messages at logon but I keep getting a pop-up that says the account already exists.

Do you perhaps have two accounts with the same name? The default account name is that of the server, so if you have two accounts with one provider, by default they might have the same name.

I usually set the account's email address as the account name, as email addresses have to be unique.
