Well, my middle-aged memory says you're on the right path.  It seems to
me I did something similar a few years ago and it pretty much worked. 
Don't worry about the original names of the folders since, as you said,
PMMail assigns each folder a unique ID that's independent of the name,
so as long as you don't try to create a new folder with the same name
as a current folder you shouldn't run into any problems.  Reindexing
should sort out the rest.  Good luck, Greg,
