uhm, inbox should be indented compared to kdabtest2, and tasks notes etc 
indented compared to inbox (with bullet points)

home if it's a separate action to always get to the root, should look like a 
pushbutton

in this test there is the same problem, it's hard to tell what the items mean 
without looking at the treeview
with a bit of indentation and a back icon (a left facing arrow or an undo 
icon) near the label of the button that goes one level up (an uhm.. one-level 
breadcrumb?) would be more clear s well
