Ok, seems to work by replacing INBOX with a dot, like that:

nametrans = lambda foldername: ("." + foldername).replace(
                                "INBOX", "").replace(
                                "[Gmail]/Gesendet", "Sent").replace(
                                "[Gmail]/Papierkorb", "Trash").replace(
                                "[Gmail]/Entw&APw-rfe", "Drafts").replace(
                                "[Gmail]/Spam", "Spam").replace(
                                "[Gmail]/Alle Nachrichten", "Archiv")
