I think this was a problem in coming from Juicy 6 to Juicy 7. Not sure the cause but this worked for me.

This isn't a Juicy or even 6.5 problem. I was setting up new a Gmail account on my dad's mogul last week and had the same trouble, and that's running stock 6.1. I fixed it by using the same workaround.
I don't think the MS people that built the auto account feature ever considered that people would want to set up IMAP accounts too...as a software engineer myself I find it hideous!
