Mac says that my account already exists

Hello

I use a MacBook Air 13' with OS X El Capitan 10.11.3 and Mail does not work well.

I'm not able to add my account e-mail, because every time I type my data in, it indicates that this particular account already exists. This account does not exist because if I could use it.

You have all the solutions to my problem?

Thank you

First of all, make sure that you don't have two accounts with the same address. What happens if one of them is an iCloud account.

From the Mail menu bar, you select

▹ Connection Doctor window

In the window that opens, look for an SMTP (outgoing mail) account with a name that corresponds to the account that you are trying to add. Double-click it. Another window opens, displaying the list of all outgoing mail accounts. Click the sign button less to remove the corresponding one, and then click OK.

Try to add the email account again. If you still can not, log off or restart the computer, and then open the preferences window accounts Internet and check if the account is displayed.

  • My email says my email account already exists, but it will not be displayed

    I just upgraded to El Capitan and the e-mail program has deleted one of my emails.  Yahoo email is there but is not that of Cox.  He directs me to iCloud, but I can't find anything wrong.  The settings for Cox look right and I can send Cox and get it... I just can't get anything.

    I tried to rename the Mail account in the library by another post, but I always get the same answer that the mail account already exists, and he directs me to iCloud.  I look at account information and it says its offline so I go to preferences and this is not.  Frustrated by that!

    Also... this account indicates also his related to internet accounts and again, no matter what I try I can't start fresh... it's related to my iCloud.

    Hello!

    I need to change my email University when asked to do so by the system whenever it turns easily on all my devices. But this time it was easy to do in my iPhone as usual. The problem is with my MacBook Air, when it asked for the password, I changed it, but since then the mail keeps giving me a "Password required Exchange" notification! When I click on continue enter my password it gives me a message saying 'this account already exists! "

    Please delete the Exchange account in the preferences pane accounts Internet and then re-create it with the same settings. Messages remain on the server and must be re-downloaded automatically.

  • Have not received e-mails from last week. I just tried to send a test email and it says that my account is not available?

    I have not received e-mails from last week. I just tried to send a test email and it says that my account is not available?

    The first step in troubleshooting is to clear browser cache/cookies.      (you must clear all cookies)

    * For Internet browser explore & MSN butterfly: simultaneously press CTRL + SHIFT + DELETE, and then click on remove
    For Google Chrome: Simultaneously press CTRL + SHIFT + DELETE, and then click clear browsing data
    For Firefox: Press CTRL + SHIFT + DELETE, and then click clean now
    (other browsers are similar)

    If you clear the cache is not help meet these.

    You access your e-mail via a web browser or e-mail client?  See the differences between them here
    You have problems to access other accounts on the same computer?
    The same problem exists when you use a different browser?
    The problem persists on other computers?

  • I saved the files to dropbox from the CC of Photoshop to the trial but now they have disappeared. I can see them in the list of recent files, but they say that they no longer exist? Is it because I have saved on the trial?

    I saved files to fropbox of the CC of the Photoshop of the trial and now they have disappeared.  I can see them in the list of recent files, but they say that they no longer exist. Any ideas as to where they went?

    If the PS says that the files no longer exist, you probably renamed, moved or deleted.

    Use your operating system (Win Explorer or Mac finder) to watch your Dropbox folder and veryfy that the files are there.

    The fact that you are using a trial has nothing to do with it.

  • Error 1316: specified account already exists

    I've recently updated for Acrobat Standard 10 to Acrobat Pro DC. I installed this on my laptop - running Windows 10 MMR just improved to 8.1 Pro - without problem.

    Now, I try to install it on my desktop. It has been recently upgraded Windows 7 Pro for Windows 10 Pro. Before the upgrade, I was connect with a local account but am now connect to this computer with a Microsoft account.

    On the desktop, the installation of Acrobat Pro DC failed. The failure occurs when you try to uninstall Acrobat 10, and the error is "Error 1316: specified account already exists." I tried several times. I also have:

    Back connected with the local account and I tried install Acrobat DC. Failed with the same error.

    I tried to uninstall Acrobat 10 programs and features. Failed with the same error.

    I downloaded the installer for Acrobat 10, hoping it might be an option to uninstall or repair - instead he told me a 'new' version is already installed and failed.

    I found nothing which explains this error or what to do about this.

    I have an idea on how to solve this problem.

    Thank you

    Judy

    Judy Hey,.

    Please post on the Adobe forums.

    First of all, you can use the cleanup tool to remove all traces of the Acrobat software installed on your computer:

    Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat cleaning tool - Adobe Labs

    One time uninstalled, try installing Acrobat DC and make sure that you logged in as an administrator on your machine.

    Let me know how it goes.

    Kind regards

  • Then, Firefox crashes when I try to reopen, I get a message saying that it is already open and must be closed. It is not open and I can't shut it down and have to restart. It is very annoying, as often happens.

    Firefox closes unexpectedly so when I try to open it I get a message saying that it is already open and I first need to close. I can't find it anywhere open and then I have to restart to open Firefox again.

  • When I turn on my computer it tells me that I need to activate windows. I click on 'YES' it takes me to the activation page and says that Windows is already activated.

    Windows XP Activation loop.

    When I turn on my computer it tells me that I need to activate windows. I click on 'YES' it takes me to the activation page and says that Windows is already activated. All I can do is, click 'OK' and he takes me into a log on screen with my name on it and goes through the same process, as described at the beginning of this statement. I'm in a loop. The only way out is to wipe my hard drive and reload windows new who, within 30 days, it will do no doubt once again. How to do this?
    For 3 years I rebooted my computer. That's why I reloaded it in the first place. I sent this version of Windows XP by Microsoft and have recharged the system at least 4 times in the past 10 or 11 years.
