Issue XML API - error updating forwarding addresses

[Philip Stapleton]

My XML is
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' ?>
<packet>
<mail>
<update>
<set>
<filter>
<site-id>1</site-id>
<mailname>
<name>myAccount</name>
<forwarding>
<enabled>true</enabled>
<address>xxx@yyy</address>
</forwarding>
</mailname>
</filter>
</set>
</update>
</mail>
</packet>

I get an error code of 1023 and an error message:
Unable to create mailname :Mail account [email protected] already exists in this domain.

I'm not trying to create an account - just changing its forwarding

Make sure that site-id is correct.
To find out the value for site-id node, connect to the server and run the command below:

# plesk db "select id from domains where name like 'myDomain.net';"

The "actual" xml does contain the correct siteID . The issue is Plesk is trying to add rather than update
