I only got my diamond today so have not had this happen yet, but going back to the old days of WM5 this used to be a bug from a backup restore. When you restore for what ever reason it does not restore the e-mail accounts (though it does but you cant see or use them) and when you go back to enter them manually it comes up as a duplicate. I seem to remember the solution was not to back up e-mail (fine if you use imap like i do) or not restore them and enter them manually. Now you have restored only option would be to call it a different name like Hotmail Account to Hotmail1 Account.

Sorry if its not that but all i can remember from my WM days.

Next time just add an exclamation mark or a full stop to the account name. eg Google!
