I couldn't find Delete so they simply added a new one. I began getting duplicate mail and I sought help from Sympatico and Apple and they both blamed the other. Then I noticed that my POP account kept changing in preferences from one to the other. So I realized that the mail was recognizing both POPs and delivered duplicate messages. I discovered how to delete the account (it wasn't the first account to be deleted) and voila no more duplicate mail only I discovered I had no more mail period. The warning ISN'T sufficient. Apple should fix it so when you delete a POP account and open a new one all is not lost. I was not receiving inmail so Sympatico (my server) told me to delete
