Outlook – How to configure two email accounts inside one Outlook profile in 2007

microsoft-outlookmicrosoft-outlook-2007

I'm trying to configure two email accounts inside one outlook profile in 2007. I did it before, but this time I'm getting an error when I try to add second account.

Error:

This account or directory type is already exists and cannot be specified twice

I took one account as Exchange, the other one is POP email.

What I did:

  1. Created a new profile. Only one profile is there named as Outlook. I configured my email id ashish.f@concerto.com. It is automatically added as Microsoft Exchange and is working fine.

  2. Now I need to add my second id ashish.f@syne.com which is from another client. I go to mail setup > Email-accounts and click on New rather than select Microsoft exchange, which is previously configured and select the change option. I choose the first option pop3, imap.. > and enter my new id details. Here I got the error "these account or directory already exist."

Can anyone help me with this?
