Research direction
No source files or tests are named. Start by reproducing the folder hierarchy with the reported Mail app setup, then trace how Inbox folder names are classified and rendered in the sidebar. Done means nested folders display as a tree, with Box (child) under Nextcloud (parent), including deeper nesting.
