Multiple accounts, single inbox?

With Windows Mail I had multiple accounts where all email went into a single
inbox. Can I create the same setup in Windows Mail Live?
I've looked and searched the web, but I've not managed to figure out how.

Re: Multiple accounts, single inbox?

Hi Thomas,

In Windows Mail, all the emails for the POP mail account goes into a
single inbox. If the mail account is IMAP or HTTP account, it has its
separate folder tree in the left pane.

If you want to use a single folder for all the mails from your POP
account, you can create a rule and move all the received messages to a
designated folder under "Storage folders".

Thanks,
-Hua

Another person who hates this multiple folder nonsense. Why has this not been
sorted?

I didn't particular like it at first, but have come to appreciate keeping
mail from separate accounts in their own unique folders. Additionally if a
live.com or hotmail.com account, a new folder creation sync and updates the
web interface folders.
