Outlook 2010 - How do you merge personal folders to an email account?

[MzTearyuz]

Hi guys,

Sorry if this has been answered before, I did have a search.

I've just upgraded to Windows 7 and have installed Office 2010 which I also had on Vista, in Vista however my email *****@optusnet.com.au was part of personal folders, but now they are separate, I'd like not to see a separate menu for *****@optusnet.com.au but instead have all my emails under the Personal Folders menu, any ideas?

Hi JMH,

Thank you! That certainly looks like what I want to do, however, my 'Account Settings' box doesn't have a change folder option like in the example. Is this because it is IMAP instead of POP3?

edit: I believe it was, I added a 'new' account which was in fact the same account, however this time I chose to manually configure settings and changed it from IMAP to POP3, this time it allowed me to click change folder which was previously not there at all to click on, thank you! Do you know if POP3 is any worse than IMAP, why would it default to IMAP when I set it up?
