Hi people! Ofesad here from Argentina.

I am building my website for my business and I started to create the email accounts for it: info@xxx.com, business@xxx.com, schools@xxx.com, universities@xxx.com, purchases@xxx.com, so on.

So I decided to use Thunderbird to to have'em all in one place.

Yesterday I try'd to set up the the accounts using IMAP. I had several issues and the only solution was to delete them from Thunderbird and set'em up again from scratch. I endup setting up 2 (business and purchases)

Now I am trying to add more and when I try to add the Info account I got an error: "Incoming server already exists". Logicaly since all the accounts are in the same server, the "incoming server" would be the same.

So, I dont know how to proceed or get around it go add all the accounts I need.

Any help would be more than welcome.

I find that I can generally bypass that error by not including password during setup. I've shared that tip here often and it frequently works.

Another setup option could be to set them up as aliases, not email accounts, and then define them as identities within the primary account. Then, you could send and receive from all of them from one account.
