You can't rename Inbox.  It is an IMAP standard.  You could in theory
translate it, but this is not supported or recommended or tested.

Change the name in your prefs.php file or in your own preferences via the
options menu, then rename them from the system level, or via the "Folders"
page of IMP if your mail program allows that.

Would need to know more to help.  Perhaps you misconfigured your servers.php
file, perhaps your mail server won't allow it and it must be done externally
(via command line, etc).

INBOX shouldn't be changed.  The others can be changed via preferences or
in the imp/config/prefs.php file.

See above.  But really depends to some extent on your mail server software
and setup.
