No, the filters do not break. As long as you do not modify the
folder.ini and make sure you're dragging and dropping whole folders,
PMMail/2 keeps track of where they are when it next restarts.

I have just tested it moving a subfolder to be the child of another
folder and even burying it a few levels deep.

The folders all have a unique ID # and it is this that PMMail uses to
identify them in filters. If you use your method of creating a new
folder, it will have a new id # (obviously) and filters that refer to
the old one will stop working. If you use the recommended method
(using OS/2's built-in folder drag-and-drop), the filters continue to
work.
