Hi,

I hit an error configuring two gmail pop accounts: "incoming server already exists". I do have an existing account on Thunderbird, also gmail, but not sure why this is an issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Try creating the account the old way:

- close TB and reopen it

- go to TB menu > Settings > General > Account hub > uncheck 'Create accounts in the new Account Hub'

- go to TB menu > New Account > Email to create the account
