Can't check account settings

I need to check that my account settings are correct since my ISP changed some parameters a little while back and now some of my e-mails are being lost. When I call up the Account Setting pane, if I click on something like "Server Settings" I always get an error message which says "An account with this name already exists. Please enter a different account name." I don't want a different account, I want to check the settings on my own account. What am I doing wrong

You're using the same account name for more than one account. Make sure account names are unique.

I'd not noticed that! So I was - not any more and now all sweetness and light. Thank you
