Troubleshooting: “Account Already Added” Error

If you receive a message saying “Account already added” when trying to connect an email address, it may already be added as an alias on another account in Polymail.

💡 If the alias is currently in use under another account, it can’t be added again as a full account until it's removed from the alias list.
