offlineimaprc has a option: "pythonfile", which will be imported to the
current workspace. so you can write you own nametrans functions instead of
the "simple lambda". the function need a string as argument and returns a
translated name.

here's a simple example:

def folder_nametrans(fname):
    if name == 'foo':
        return one_name
    elif name == 'bar':
        return another_name
    else ....
