It's going to be some work.

You can import one set of files into the other OE (File, Import). You
will end up with a bunch of duplicates.

But this program should help with the duplicates:

Home and office = 2 computers with same emails on each. In changing
something
(please, please do not ask me what) one computer lost a lot of emails,
read
folders, in OE. I would like to merge what is left from one computer
with
what is on the other. AND then painlessly cull duplicates. The folder
structure is (approximately the same. I'll be better about this the
next
time.) Can I do this without renaming folders and then manually
sorting all
this? Is this clear enough?
