Incoming server already exists. First time install. First account setup.
I used configuration given me by Frontier (auto config resulted in nonsense). It stalled on checking password, so I checked for solutions to that and found: "I suggest deleting the password and letting Thunderbird just check account settings. I have seen this long test many times. After the account is confirmed, you can then enter password."
So I did that. I clicked re-test to be sure the config was right. I got this message: "The following settings were found by probing the server" The settings were exactly the same as my original input, thus confirming my settings were correct.
When I clicked Done, I got an "Error Creating Account" window with the message "Incoming server already exists."
I checked for solutions to that error, but none of them seemed to fit my situation since I never installed Thunderbird before, and this is the first and only account I attempted to set up.
So what do I do? I need to get my messages really soon, as I normally receive 30-40 per day, and Outlook quit on me several days ago.
Thanks, Jon
