Try this ...

On your Mac open the Mail app then go to the menu bar, click Edit > Undo

If that's grayed out, then it's not possible to restore the account that way.

It was greyed out. But I figured out how to restore it. It's an ATT address and that is now connected to Yahoo. So I restored it as a Yahoo account. It worked.
Thank you very much for trying to help!
