I accidentally deleted one of my mailboxes, but when I go to add it back, I get the message that the account already exist. I cannot see where I can delete the account and then start over. If I go to rebuild mailbox, nothing happens. Any suggestions on how I can get this account working again?

If this is apple mail go to system preferences>mail contacts & calendars>click on the account you deleted and press the - button. This should delete the account for go and the next time you try to add the account it should let you do it just fine.
