I just made myself a big mess in this regard. For background I have
two separate TB! installations, because one is related to a PIM I use.
I have been doing the beta cycle with the normal bat, although also
doing the beta for the PIM and the bat version for it. Tonight, I
decided to try to straighten out my folders and make the switch to the
PIM version. I have tried synching the two databases before, and ended
up with mountains of duplicate mail, and was dissatisfied with the
result.

I thought I'd try uninstalling the PIM version, and starting over by
importing my mail folder from the regular bat. Well, that didn't work
because although I chose the correct one to uninstall in the program
manager, that isn't the version which got uninstalled.

My next try was to replace the mail sub-directory in the PIM version
with the mail sub-directory from regular bat.

Here is the problem I had then with the filters: destinations which
were in an account were preserved. Common folder definitions in first
level common folders, such as \\\Trash (thankfully) were preserved.
Destinations in sub-mail folders were not. If filtering to
'\\\mailbox', it was fine. If destination was '\\\mailbox\submailbox'
however, the destination was lost and the destination was listed as
'inbox -  unknown' (the introduction of inbox - unknown' is another
issue but I'll just eat that complaint at least for now)

But, it seems to me that the failure to preserve the destinations in
the lower level folders is a bug.
