Copy exactly one unique mail into each of your duplicate folders. Be 
sure they are not marked unread. Be sure to have the sentence "I want 
to get rid of this #$)&%"@)%@) folder" (copy this sentence to the 
clipboard :-) only in mails in folders you want to get rid of.

Quit PMMail. Fire up "Windows Exploder". Locate your PMMail directory, 
RMB, Search (or whatever this is named in your local version), search 
for any file containing "I want to get rid of this .... [and so on, 
you can past it from the clipboard :-]". Note the directories found. 
Delete those directories. Start up PMMail.

First do the install. This will copy some DLLs to the systems 
directories, but will leave you with an empty, unregistered PMMail. 
Afterwards copy the directories. You gain the registration and the 
contents. Dont forget the TOOLS directory, it contains your address 
book. Its not located below PMMAIL but on the same directory level.
