It's a bit more complex than that. I suggest we remove '_'
from
AcceptedMailboxnamechars. We don't allow '%' in mailbox
names. Same
reasoning should apply to '_'.

I have several mailbox's with "_" in their names.
What will happen to them if i upgrade to a version that
doesn't allow new 
mailbox's with "_" in the name?

Please don't.  I have *several* (my folderGrep script says
436 right
now) folders with _ in them, and use it as a substitute for
several
difficult characters, such as ' ', in auto-named folders. 
Living w/o
underscore -- and hyphen for that matter -- would be
painful.

I'd also much prefer to just escape these correctly. I'll
see if I can't
find it this evening.

I would like to continue using the underscore.
