Duplicate Messages - Double Emails

I just upgraded to Office 2004, Entourage 11.2.3 w/ my G4 OSX 10.3.9.
I am getting duplicate email messages in one POP3 account but not the
other, both filtered and unfiltered. That is, the Good Account works
even if mail is filtered into a folder other than In Box. Same ISP for
both accts; same ISP as 3 days ago w/ Entourage X.

I have reviewed many similar posts/threads on Mactopia.
Most of them trail off into a state of non-resolution.

I have rebuilt my DB by holding down option when booting Entourage. No
dice.
None of the accts has an option set to leave mail on the server.
I am reluctant to use 3rd party scripts, which have been reported as
buggy.

Has anyone solved this problem??

Thanks.

Every instance of duplicate messages I have seen has one of three causes:

-- Duplicate importing from another source (not the issue here)
-- More than one account set to download from the same server
-- Account set to leave messages on server; messages download anew after
a rebuild of the database (not the issue)

So my best guess is #2.

Allen - Bingo! I had created 2 accounts, identical except for the
UserName. One account had my professional degree after my name; one
didn't. I used the former for professional correspondence, the latter
when I didn't want to show my title.

Many Thanks to Hal Kushner, who had previously posted to this group for
suggesting the solution.

I wanted to get back to Mactopia to say that the problem is solved! (I
still find it odd that Entourage X never had a problem w/ dual accts
and Entourage 2004 does.)
