Changing MacMail Inbox names

I am trying to rename several of my MacMail Inboxes on an iPhone 11, version 16.4.1 (One is named "iCloud"). i go to Mail>Accounts>iCloud>Name, Numbers,Email in Settings. At the top it shows "Name" (shows my name there), but when I click on it it just goes to a 3-line entry for "First, Middle, Last". There is no place to enter a new Inbox name. So where can I go to do that? Other instructions I've found seem easy, but I think they are for iPhone versions prior to what I have (16.4.1) Thanks for any input.


iPhone 11, iOS 16

Thank you for the screenshot.


Renaming a Mail Box on an iPhone:

  1. Go Here: Organize eMail in Mailboxes on iPhone - Apple Support
  2. Scroll to: Organize your mail with mailboxes
  3. As it Reads: "Rename a mailbox: Tap the mailbox, then tap the title. Delete the name, then enter a new name."
