Opera mail duplicates

I have recently added my wife's name as a second Opera account, so that outgoing messages may appear to come from her rather than myself if desired; similarly for incoming. Both names are aliases on one account as far as my ISP is concerned.

We can now have my wife's name in the "From" block when sending a message -- but Opera proceeded to make duplicates of ALL my existing messages in the Inbox, mailing lists, etc., and subsequently make a copy of every new incoming message, usually after a lengthy pause. These are exact duplicates: they do not come addressed to my wife.

I eventually managed to delete all of them, and to keep up with fresh ones -- but how do I cure this plague without causing even more trouble? Help would be greatly appreciated.

Details: Opera mail 1.0, Build 1040, Platform Win32, System Windows 7.
In the Manage Accounts/Edit boxes, the settings for both these accounts are identical apart from our names.

Yes, if you've marked that both names should receive messages then both do. Clear the incoming server settings on one name and only the other name will receive messages.

So simple, really! Thank you very much, Sgunhouse -- sanity has been restored.
