I think it probably will, since replacing anything with "_" would set
compatible table name strings.
There's one caveat:
"abc[something]def" mapping will overwrite the "abc/something/def", so you
cannot have both folders in your mail account.
Although the case is very uneven, perhaps a combined replacement could be
performed with [ and ] and spacing mapping to different symbols.
