   Now this depends on how you proceed, I guess. 

   If you move the folder by drag'n'drop from within PMMail (I noted, 
you are using the Windows version, where this is possible) or from the 
OS level, using e.g. Windows Explorer; if PMMail is running in the 
latter case or not.

  It should be safe, I think, to move directories with Windows Explorer 
IF PMMail is not running while doing it (i.e. giving PMMail the chance 
to read in the folder ID numbers) and doing this BEFORE creating new 
folders in the account. Otherwise, PMMail will give numbers in its 
normal sequence, and then you come with the same numbers from a 
different account...
