Terminology selection and consistency #390

Describe the bug
It would be a great improvement to use more common/familiar/canonical mail terms. Examples:

  • Daytime / By Hour / Hourly
  • emails / mails / messages
  • Received from / Sender
  • Sent to / Recipient
  • Flagged / Tagged / Starred
  • Temporal distribution / Hourly
  • ...

A common and consistent language/dictionary of terms will improve usability and understanding, and complement visualization mechanics and dimension-specific functionality. What's the minimal set of terms possible?

  • Identify key terms
  • Match key terms with those, Thunderbird already uses
  • Decide which term to use
  • Update ThirdStats UI
  • Adapt other languages
