Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
In the Nextcloud Mail app, shared folders (and possibly shared mailboxes) are all shown with the generic name INBOX in the folder list. This makes it impossible to distinguish between them.In other clients (e.g. Thunderbird) the same folders are correctly displayed with meaningful names — usually the email address of the shared mailbox.
Describe the solution you'd like
Shared folders / mailboxes should display a clear, distinguishable name (preferably the email address or the name configured on the IMAP server), just like Thunderbird and other clients do.
