Q: How can I transfer mail folders from one Apple ID to another?
Had to close my old email account that was used as my Apple ID. Set up new ID with no problems but now I have none of my old mail sub folders I used to store info in such as eBay purchases or Amazon info. Is there a way to migrate my old folders to the new Apple ID? Thanks

You don't want to set up a new Apple Account for your new ID. With a separate Apple Account, you lose all of the purchases linked with the original Apple ID, and all iCloud info. Anything you had that old ID signed into will no longer be accessible if you create a brand new Apple Account.
Instead, you want to go to: Apple - My Apple ID, sign in with your old ID and password, then in the Account info section, click on the EDIT button next to the old Apple ID, and change it to whatever new ID you want to use.
That way, you have the same Apple Account with an updated ID.
Before you do that, however, be sure to sign the old ID out of everything on your devices and computers:
iTunes & App Stores
iCloud
Messages
FaceTime
Best of luck,
