I think you could do it for example:

mailbox Trash {
  ...
}
mailbox trash2 {
  name = trash
  ...
}

By default name is the same as the section name, but while name setting itself is case-sensitive, the section name is not. This is because the setting keys may end up being environment variables, which are always uppercased.
