:Yes; at least under 2.1, that is.  Simply use the "c" (change mailbox)
:command and then just hit return when prompted for the name of the new mailbox.
:Elm will print "resynchronizing file" and then make all pending updates
:without exiting.

Then again, you could just use the $ for resync mailbox.  That will
also do it.  (Both the c and $ work in 2.2 as well as 2.1)
