  The filters identify PMMail's folder not by the folder name shown in 
the folder list or the PC's OS directory name, but by an PMMail internal 
number, which is stored in the FOLDER.INI of the *.ACT directory to 
which the PMMail folder is mapped. There is one single line with several 
fields separated by hex DE; the first field is the title of the folder, 
the second field this internal number. 

   My first guess is that those numbers are no longer unique after you 
had built some new folders in the new account, and moved other accounts 
over there from the old account, just by moving the directories.
