And now it does, although the various colors for sigs and levels of 
nesting are gone.

I find this frightening.  REALLY frightening.  It's like having 
duplicate filenames. A disturbance in the Force... I might try that on a 
backup to a different partition.

I finally got the forward from AccountA to AccountB to work, and then I 
made a filter to put the forwarded messages into a new 'folder' so I 
have one viable workaround.  I opened a new gmail account to possibly 
use if I can't recover AccountA, but having to notify serious entities 
of the new email address is fraught with peril for various reasons.
