Folder naming for Thunderbird mobile

[CraftoHohenvels]

When using Gmail accounts with Thunderbird (Mobile) the default Gmail folders come with a "[Gmail]/" prefix. This ruins the aesthetics. See screenshot.

I am not sure how Thunderbird manages syncing internally, but that would mean that the folder Name in the system stays the same and a display name attribute is added.

Thanks for submitting an idea to the Mozilla Connect community! Your idea is now open to votes (aka kudos) and comments.

If you like I can try my luck with the implementation. Though I am not yet familiar with the source code.

I've got the same problem and I wish that it could be prioritized to be fixed

Also, if the system font size is high, this will lead to line breaks which impacts readability even more.

In this case the prefix set by Google is `[Google Mail]` which is even longer.

Please note that sometimes the prefix is [Google Mail] instead of [Gmail] (defined by Google). This is even worse.

Same here, even with more email providers like e.g. 1&1. What about a tree hirarchy?
