I don't think so. It looks like we'd have to send a folder name with
both a leading and a trailing trailing slash: /archive/.

IMHO, that's a way for Microsoft to hide this folder because the slash
is used as a separator for foldernames.

I did not dig into this much but if I'm right offlineimap doesn't
supports this feature currently and I'm not sure it would be easy to
implement. It would be wonderful if davmail has an option to remap this
folder name to another one (defined by the user) to expose this folder
in a more usual way.
