Given an existing default namespace:

namespace inbox {
  type = private
  separator = /
  prefix =
  location = sdbox:/var/mail/%d/%n/sdbox
  inbox = yes
  hidden = no
  list = yes
  subscriptions = yes
}

And mailboxes like:
INBOX
INBOX/Archives
INBOX/Archives/2018

if I then define a new namespace:

namespace archives {
  type = private
  separator = /
  prefix = Archives/
  location = mdbox:/var/mail/%d/%n/Archives/mdbox
  subscriptions = no
  list = children
}

What will happen to the previous existing mailboxes & mails? Will they simply be "masked" by the new namespace and remain pending other operations? Or would they be moved/deleted?

If they remain - is it possible to refer to the old mailboxes via either IMAP or doveadm?
