I am setting up a pop 3 account using windows 2000 and outlook 2003, and
everything is okay until I go into more settings and change the name. It
tells me the account already exists. I have no other accounts set up, any
ideas where to look that it might think this account already exists? I've
searched the registry for the name, and I've gone into mail in Control Panel
and there are no accounts, nor is there anything found in the registry with
my name.

Thanks.
