You could write a small Rexx .CMD file that would locate all the FOLDER.INI files under PMMAIL and 
then list the first field (delimited by an 'DE'X) in each file along with the drirectory actual name.  Print the 
results and you would have a "cheat sheet" to use.  Maybe something like this:

/* Cross reference PMMAIL folder names and actual directories */

r = SysFileTree('FOLDER.INI', 'File.', 'SFO')

say ''

p = pos('PMMAIL\', File.1) + 7

do x = 1 to File.0
  File = File.x
  Work = linein(File)
  r = stream(File, 'C', 'CLOSE')
  parse var Work Name 'DE'X .
  say left(Name, 18) substr(filespec('P', File), p)
end

return(0)
