Would it be possible for you to upgrade to SVN trunk?
With the new code, this is probably a one-byte change (or 5 lines if you 
do it in the official, clean way with a hook function).

You can also install SVN trunk in parallel - the database layout is 
compatible with 2.3.x. You only need to know two things:
- run setup.php (of SVN trunk) to do some database upgrades
- if you create new superadmins, create them with the SVN trunk code


If you want to do it in 2.3.x, you'll need to add some code to 
edit-mailbox.php and its template. This shouldn't be too hard - just 
copy&paste the code of another field ;-)

If you want a review, send the changes you do (as a patch) to the 
mailinglist before applying it to your production system.


Oh, and there's still the hardcore solution - change the maildir 
directly in the database. If this only needs to be done for some admin 
users, it might be the easiest solution ;-)
