Accounts panel after duplicate deleted.

Manually verified some gmail accounts and found one with old messages which had
never been collected.  Thinking I'd forgotten to create an account in CM, I
copied an existing gmail account and made the appropriate changes.

Then, I did some testing to ensure I could use multiple clients (incl. new
Android phone) on gmail accounts -- discovered the need to use
"recent:userid at gmail.com" format to allow multiple clients...  Went back into
CM accounts and made change. Then I noticed I'd just created a duplicate
account, so I deleted the older one.

>From the entrails, it appears that when a duplicate account is created (fresh,
without realizing one already exists) in CM, two instances of the account
([Account: N] -- same N) are entered into accountrc.  When one of these
accounts is deleted (older one in my case), CM created a trash account.
