You might be able to, but it isn't recommended.  If I were to try, I would
edit the appropriate imp/po/ files to change it, as described in the faq
at http://www.horde.org/faq/admin/

Not sure if that will work for this case, as INBOX is a special case (see
below).  But it should work...

As it should at least in the folder lists.  INBOX is a reserverd IMAP string
that refers to your inbox.  That way, no matter what your actual inbox is
on your storage system (file with any name, sql database, etc) you can always
reference it with the string "INBOX" and get your mail.  This is why IMAP is
so portable.

You should look up in the IMAP specs why this is reserved, and once you
understand that explain to your boss why it is that way and why you shouldn't
change it.
