Outlook: Merge MULTIPLE Emails into a Single Folder?

I’m really struggling with this one. My client has 10 email accounts all on OutLook (POP setting for every email account), with all emails going into a single folder (OutLook doesn’t show 10 different email accounts and a BUNCH of folders; just the one where all the emails mix together). (Image 1) . My client has it this way so he only needs to look into one Inbox to see all of his emails.


This is essentially how my client has his current setup.


I’m trying to replicate this setup on my own PC and I really don’t understand how it was setup. This is how my setup looks. (Image 2)


I don’t understand how to move all these separate email accounts (identified by the red arrows) into a single folder, on my own test environment.


He wants me to add an ADDITIONAL (11th) accout. When he added the 11th account onto OutLook, it of course created a separate email. (image 3)

Can someone help me with this? How do I merge all the emails into a single folder? Does this involve Outlook rules or some hidden setting? I’ve tried Googling around and using ChatGPT but can’t figure it out.

So I guess to add on; a lot of the “solutions” on the web show the “change folder” button (image 1)

but I also don’t have that button available.

Further update; I ended up accidentally using the IMAP setting instead of POP. Now that I changed the accounts to POP, I do have the “change folder” option. It doesn’t appear to be working tho, as when I sent emails to the second (linked) email, they should be filtering to the main inbox folder, but they do not appear to be received at all within OutLook (but do appear when using Outlook on the web).
