Sorry, I absolutely don't agree with this "cleanliness" claim.  People can
have many imap accounts and, in addition, local folders, and they can use
the same folder names in all of them.  The place where the folder exists is
an important part of its identity.  I have no inclination to brush under the
carpet the differences that exist and that should be noted/remembered.

In fact, the problem for many of us has been quite the opposite.  We have
had users that said they have 10 different "inbox" folders and they can't
keep track of which is which.  So, I added a tweak so that "inbox" folder
buffers are named by their account names inside Emacs.

Exactly.  So let us drop it.
