I have been getting this too (for the last two days - on at least a dozen tries).
I am Running Win7 and already have three POP accounts.
All definitely have the incoming server pop.googlemail.com
I wanted to add a new IMAP account, so in T'Bird
Tools.... Account Settings
Account Actions ..... Add Mail Account
Filled in
my name,
the email address ([email protected] - and in gmail this mail account
was created as IMAP),
password (with a tick to remember this)
... continue
and it then detected the mail setup as IMAP,
Incoming : IMAP, imap.googlemail.com , SSL
Outgoing : SMTP, smtp.googlemail.com , SSL
Username: [email protected]
but when I then clicked on Done
it said Error Creating Account - Incoming server already exists.
And if I then clicked on OK followed by Manual Config, it then showed
in the Mail Account Setup
Incoming: IMAP imap.googlemail.com 993 SSL/TLS Normal Password
and again if I then clicked Done it gave the same error message as before.
(and I have screenshots to support all of this).
But I do not know if someone has been working on a fix to T'Bird or googlemail, because just now when I did it yet again in order to make a final check that what I have been writing here is correct , this time I did NOT get the error message and the new account has been setup!!!!!
So do others find this has now been cleared too?

I'm trying to add another mail account to T-bird but keep getting an "Incoming server already exists" error.

T-bird was hanging when trying to get email from my elitemail.org account (sub-domain of Fastmail.fm) so I tried deleting the account and starting over. I "thought" I cleaned out all instances of the incoming/outgoing servers and passwords, but apparently there's still a file that is hanging on to them somewhere. Before doing anything though, I 'did' .tar.bz2 the .thunderbird dir so I wouldn't lose any mail. Heck, I even went so far (after getting the above error the first time) of removing T-bird from the system, and deleting the .thunderbird dir! So I'm still getting the error, even on what is effectively a new install. What I want to know is, what file do I need to edit or delete (even AFTER backing up then deleting the .thunderbird dir) so Thunderbird really IS starting from scratch? Migrating my old email dirs is easy - but apparently getting rid of the mail servers takes an act of Congress.
Running Thunderbird 3.1.9 on Salix 13.37.

As far as Thunderbird is concerned, you can keep the profile (and any existing mail in that profile.
In any case, it should work with a new profile. Deleting the .thunderbird directory would cause Thunderbird to create a new profile when starting the next time. It would then come up empty, and you'll need to create an account again.
Is this what you did?

-Reece,
We only have 1 single domain, 1 domain forest, no subdomains, only alias. I had replied to the other post as well. But I am happy to paste it here in case anyone want to read it.
So, after a few months of testing, capture and sending logs back and forth to Apple Engineers, we found out there is a setting in AD, under User Account that prevent us to log into AD from Mountain Lion. If you would go to your AD server, open up a user account properties, then go to Account tab, the "Do not require Kerberos preauthentication" option is checked. As soon as I uncheck that option, immediately I was able to log into AD on the Mac client. Apple engineers copied all my AD settings and setup a test environment on their end and match exact mine AD environment. They was able to reproduce this issue.
The bad part about this is... our environment required the "Do not require Kerberos preauthentication" is checked in AD, in order for our users to login into some of our Unix and Linux services. Which mean that it is impossible for us to remove that check mark because most, if not all of them some way or another require to login into applications that run on Unix and Linux. Apple is working to see if they can come up with a fix. Apparently, no one has report this issue except us. I believe most of you out there don't have that check mark checked in your environment... Anyone out there have any suggestion to by pass or have a work around for this?

HT4519 I have a yahoo email account and i keep getting an "error connection to the server failed"

The email account i have always used on my ipad mini is through yahoo. Now i keep getting an error "connection to the server failed" when trying to access my email.

its a common message but could be due to several possible causes
try this
close the mail app by double tapping the home button, swipe the screen until you see the large icon of the mail app. Swipe the app up and off the screen to close. Tap the home button to return to home screen. Open mail app again.
if that didn't work, then...
Reboot device by pressing both the home button and sleep/wake (power) buttons at the same time for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings (or for network connection issues 'reset network settings').
(no media or data will be deleted from the device, this will only take a minute).
Unplug your wifi router for 5-10 minutes and at the same time reset settings on the ipad
settings/general/reset/reset all settings
(no data will be lost)

Operation Start failed on step Allocate elastic IPs with message: Error creating static IPs; AMAZON: The maximum number of addresses has been reached.

Hi All,
I was trying to create Instance for SAP Application Server ABAP 7.4 SP5 incl. Business Warehouse on SAP HANA 1.0 SP7 [Developer Edition] in SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud / Cloud Appliance Library when I got this message 'Operation Start failed on step Allocate elastic IPs with message: Error creating static IPs; AMASON: The maximum number of addresses has been reached'.
I tried looking for an answer or solution for this issue but no success.
Can anyone please help me with this?

Hi Deep,
you need to check your Elastic IP limits within the AWS console and how to release them if they are used:
Elastic IP Addresses (EIP) - Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud
AWS Service Limits - Amazon Web Services

I keep getting message error 101, have tryed 3 times to download, on windows vista

i get message error 101, i've tryed to download 3 times now, with the same results every time. i'm using windows vista, any one have any ideas?

Hi dawndancer,
Error 101/102 normally appear when the the installer is unable to extract the files.
This could be due to a corrupt/incomplete download, the installer trying to extract at a location it does not have permissions to, or just plain permissions issue.
Also see, http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-download-assista nt.html for help with Error 101 and 102.
This is the same link that Mylenium has posted in the post above.
1. Ensure that you're downloading to a writeable user location, and not to "Program Files" or Applications" folders
2. Try solution 1 and restart the download
3. Try solution 2 to clear some space if you're running low
4. Ensure that you're logged in with Admin privileges
Alternately you can follow the steps listed in http://forums.adobe.com/thread/981369 to initiate a direct download, and then proceed to install.

HP Photosmart 6510: now everytime I print I get message "Error: 1 document waiting"

My HP Photosmart 6510 has worked fine for 1 yr and now everytime I print I get message "Error: 1 document waiting" and wont print -I delete the queued document but it doesnt help I've turned off, unplugged, refound the printer and I can't make it work Help please.

Hey @FMcK !
Thanks for chatting on the HP forums!
It looks like your having a communication issue with the computer and HP Photosmart 6510. I should be able to provide some information that may be of some help.
If the printer is connected WiFi I would recommend power cycling the router as well. When sending a print job WiFi the data travels to the router and then the printer. Its possible the print job is getting hung up at the router.
If you are still getting issues with WiFi connection I would also suggest plugging in the USB cable to see if the printer and computer are communicating that way.
You may also need to uninstall and reinstall the HP software in case there is some sort of software issue that has developed over time. To provide the correct documentation for uninstalling and reinstalling HP software You will need you to provide me with the the operating system you are running (ex. Windows or Mac) and the version of the operating system.
If you are unsure on how to get the operating system please follow the appropriate link bellow:
