Currently it seems to search on Username and Server and ignore port. However it is feasable to have different pop severs running on different ports on the same server. For example: I run a pop3proxying script to check incoming mail with SpamAssassin. It listens on ports 110,111,112 and 114, forwarding requests to them to the actual pop3 server (all running on 110 on remote machines). I am unable to add two accounts with the same username and same server running on different ports. It tells me that they already exist. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Actual Results: An error saying the account already exists Expected Results: Added the account as it was different to an already existing one.
