I have two gmail accounts. When I try to add the second one a popup appears, saying the server address already exixts. WHat has that got to do wih anything? The accounts are separate, even if they are on the same server. Why does Thunderbird get hung up on this. How do I fix it?

I am trying to add an account by clicking Account Actions/Add Mail Account on the account settings menu. I enter the name, email address and password and click Continue. It does its little setup dance and lights up the Done button. When I click Done, I get a popup labelled Error Creating Account that says "Incoming Server Already Exists"

My question is, why can't I have two accounts, or seventy-seven accounts for that matter, on the same server if they all have different names? It looks a lot like a bug to me.
