Maybe, but could be a lot of work. For this case however it's easy. Create two
namespaces:
namespace inbox {
prefix =
inbox = yes
mailbox Sent {
auto = create
}
# ..etc..
}
namespace old {
prefix =
inbox = yes
disabled = yes
}
Then in the extra field you can just set namespace/inbox/disabled=yes and
namespace/old/disabled=no
