[OT] gmail question

[Phil]

I have two gmail accounts and I thought that it might be a good idea to 
have my default e-mail account download e-mail from my second account. 
This wasn't a good idea because I now get two copies of the same e-mail; 
one in my default account directory and another copy in my second 
account directory. I want to reverse this action.

Under "Settings -> Accounts and Imports" there's an option to delete the 
second account. Selecting "delete" asks if I really want to delete the 
second account. I don't, I just want to unlink the two accounts.

I really do not want to lose this account. Has anyone pressed "delete" 
and not lost their account?

An Internet search has not presented an answer.
