I'm not at all sure what happened now that a new one was created.  Use the search function (CTRL+F when in the folder listing) and look for a message that you know is in the copy self folder.  

1.  If you find it then the folder still exists but the hierarch.pm file has become corrupted and so the folder does not show up on the folder listing.

2.  If the search does not find any message that you know is in the copy self folder then you'll have to revert to a backup.

Try  the following procedure.  This has worked for several others to restore
the functionality of the  message folders by replacing the hierach.pm:   

1.  Use Help | About Pegasus Mail | Info to determine your mail
    directory.  Exit Pegasus mail.

2.  Rename the file HIERARCH.PM in your HOME mail directory to
    HIERARCH.SAV.

3.  Run WinPMail.  Your HIERARCH.PM will be re-created and should
    start working correctly.

Note:  This will delete any tray structure you have created and it
           will have to be recreated.  The process will not affect any
           mail of mail folders you have, it only affects the display of
           the folders.
