Hello darshan283,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We understand that you are trying to add your email account on your Mac but continue to get this error message saying it already exists.


Is the account already being used as an Apple ID on this Mac? If so, it should already been in your Mail preferences. Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts, select your iCloud account and make sure that 'Enable this account' is selected. You can do this for all email accounts on your Mac. Check out If iCloud Mail isn't working for additional tips that should get your email account back in your Mail app.


Take care.
