The browser still works fine, but...
There was a problem initializing Opera Mail.

Couldn't initialize backends
Initializing Account5 failed
AccountManager Init failed
Engine Init() failed
All the site gave me was some crap about how I should use a multi-user installation, which didn't help because I already do. Google turned up one other person in Germany having the same problem on a Mac, and nobody on the appletalk forums said anything besides "the problem should resolve itself".
Seriously, what the hell? "Opera Mail" is misleading: it includes Opera IRC and Usenet as well (I use georgia tech webmail anyway). I may as well just download xChat and some other newsreader (?) and switch back to Firefox if this keeps up. (Or Cygwin, irssi, pan, and midori).
Also, in case you're wondering where I've been on IRC...well, yeah.
As soon as we wish to be happier, we are no longer happy.

I would try completely deleting the Opera directory in program files, redownloading it, and reinstalling it, making sure you are connected to the internet when you first run it. I've never used Opera that much so other than that, I can't suggest anything,.
ExüberNewsFeed: Exuberance is mostly <AFF> (Away From Forums) for a while, though I may still participate in epic contests/threads. When I return, I shall bring several comic updates (enough to finish season 1) and hopefully 1 or 2 games- at least one of which is N-related
Comic Activity-O-Meter: (how often I'm updating my comic)
(Click here to see what each level and half-level means in terms of updates per time period)

NOTE: If I just add a bunch of comics in one day, but plan on going back to normal after that, I probably won't update the status.
+ Dead: Canceled. Done. Maybe you'll get a random comic like once a year, but it's pretty much done.
- Zombie (Dead/Comatose): The comic is probably done regular updates forever, but I'll probably still add something once in a blue moon. It's still POSSIBLE, that I'll raise the status up, but not very likely. Maybe I'll have a comicplosion for like a week, then go back to being dead
+ Comatose: Complete stand-by. No (or very few) updates for some amount of time, but the comic's far from being over
- <AFK> (Comatose/Loitering): Stand-by, but you might possibly count on a few updates once and a while. Again, this is temporary
+ Loitering: Like comatose, but for short amount of times.
- Turtling (Loitering/Semi-Active): Really slooooww updates
+ Semi-Active: One every 2 weeks...ish?
- Quasi-Active (Semi-Active/Active): Averaging about 2 comics every 3 weeks
+ Active: Loosely defined status, but about a weekly update
- Over-Active (Active/Power-leveling): About 2 comics a week
+ Power-leveling: About 3 comics a week. Possible a schedule, possibly not
- Über-Epic (Power-leveling/COMICPLOSION!!): In some cases, this may actually be mean updates more frequently than COMICPLOSION!!, but I'm defining this level as a non-organized comic rush, kind of like a few days after my comic started
+ COMICPLOSION!!: Daily updates for a minimum of 5 days (since the daily updates started. It remains at this status until the 5, 7, whatever days are done)

I'm assuming you've tried up- (or down-) grading to the latest full install of Opera? Deleting and readding your mail and chat accounts? I can't imagine that's too much bother. Can you discern what Account5 refers to? Your fifth account in mail and chat accounts, perhaps? A complete reinstall might also be good. Use CCleaner on Opera? These are pretty much the only suggestions I've got. I'd hate to see someone leave Opera for Firefox. :(

I think that's happened to me several times before. If I quit before doing anything else with Opera, and restart the browser, everything seems to be fine for me.
Then again, your problem's probably something different.

Talking about Opera, I have a problem too. Before this, everything was running just fine, but now, when I run Opera I first have to wait 1 or 2 minutes to get Opera window.
