Problem you are trying to solve
When creating several K-9 unread widgets, the name always begins with (or is) the account name. This is confusing after creating several widgets for different folders, they all look identical.
Suggested solution
It would be useful to have the default name match the folder name and be able to rename it.

No files or tests are named. Start by locating the K-9 unread widget creation and naming flow, then determine how folder names and widget renaming are handled. Done means multiple widgets display distinct folder-based names and can be renamed.
