Thanks, that's probably it ... because I did simply move
old account folders to the new email account  ... and
create a few new folders in the new account, too.  Still,
sounds like a bug ... a rare one, of course ... but
shouldn't PMMail check for unique folder reference numbers
when creating them and never allow moves or new folder
creates to end up with duplicate reference numbers?
