If I were going to do this, I would set up the new account and create
all the necessary folders into which you plan to filter messages.  Then
I'd create simple filters that each move mail to one of those  new
folders.  When you're finished, examine the new FILTERS.LST file and
find the new folder number for each of the folders.  Swap those new
numbers for the ones in your original FILTERS.LST file and save the new
file in the new account directory.  I don't know if that will work but
I can't think of a reason why it wouldn't.
