Just pray. No, just kidding, you can use any of the folder.undo files.
These are outdated versions, but on the contrary you should put them all 
by hand (a crafty work indeed)

If you have skills to use any programming language, and you don't
have any folders file, you can create a custom folders file with
all the files ins a single folder (e.g. organize_me), using the
folder file format described at
http://trex.sourceforge.net/users/en/dir_struct.html#User_name.

In case you don't have such skill I can create it for you.

Hope this helps.

PS: aMail is not being maintained, and has been renamed TRex, which is
currently being developed and maintained (tht's no aMail case). I think
you'll prefer to use TRex instead of aMail.
