Copy back your saved directory, start The Bat! and create accounts with
their old names. The Bat! will recognize the old folders then and all
settings saved in account folders will be preserved. 
One exception: if your user name for mail server (POP3 for sure,
SMTP-auth I don't know exactly) was something with '@' in it, like your
complete e-mail address, only the user part will be preserved. You'll
have to change this back manually, for whatever reasons The Bat! does
not preserve the whole string, but only up to the first '@' in username
when 'recovering' accounts this way.
