Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
A folder in a mailbox can only be renamed if it does not contain any subfolders.
Unfortunately, this means that many folders in a large mailbox cannot be renamed.
Describe the solution you'd like
Rename every folder at every level in the mailbox.
Describe alternatives you've considered
A workaround would be to move all subfolders to another folder, then rename them, and move them back again. But that's not really possible in practice.
