No. As soon as you got more than one account, "INBOX" can be 2 different
things, so you need to prefix everything.
What you are suggesting is to keep primary/secondary which is something
that confuses all new Gnus users, this is why we decided to remove this
way of doing things.

I don't think there is any point of having just "INBOX" anywhere.
