I was testing the migration of email being hosted on Yahoo Business to Google Apps Business. Google has tool in the Account options listed as 'Get mail from other accounts:'. You can use this tool to migrate emails from the existing inbox into the new gmail inbox.
However, in my migration the email addresses were the same name because I wanted to use the same domain and user name and only switch who hosted it. Google gave me an error because I was trying to use the same email address.
For example you are trying to move 'junk@junk.com' on yahoo to 'junk@junk.com' now hosted on gmail. For me, I received an error trying to do this. So to get around this error, type that you are migrating 'junk1@junk.com' then proceed to give it the correct Login credentials for the account. That should work! It did for me.
Actually, I am not really sure why this error happens, it may be totally legit. Maybe Gmail just wants the stuff coming in to be uniquely name or just that account move uniquely named. I have no idea and there was not info in the error message....
Hope that helps!
