Here's the real question: do you really have multiple folders named
inbox with different capitalization on the IMAP server? Because if
there is, you do not want to change one name to another without
resolving the conflict first!

If there isn't, and there is nothing in the "Inbox" folder, then the
below configuration line will do what you want:
nametrans = lambda foldername: foldername == 'INBOX' and foldername.title()
