Changing from POP to IMAP with existing e-mail name
I use the same e-mail address on my desktop and my Samsung android phone. I was told to change my desktop e-mail from POP3 to IMAP which I did and then told by the Thunderbird desktop forum to change also my phone settings from POP3 to IMAP. I was told in order to do that I needed to create a new account first and then delete the old account.
However, when I go into server settings and I put in my e-mail address from my desktop, it states "e-mail address already in use". Clearly I do not want to create a new e-mail address - just use the same e-mail address that is on my desktop so that I can access e-mails on my phone that appear on my desktop. Help please!

Please respond. I was told by a different Thunderbird forum to reach out to this group for my question above.
There must be a solution to this as I am sure others have faced it. Is the alternative that I delete my android e-mail address and then reinstall it in IMAP with the same e-mail address of my desktop? If so, will I lose all of my existing Inbox and Sent messages or will they be picked up from my desktop since they are both then on IMAP? Is there alternatively a way to separately save my current Inbox and Sent messages on my phone?
