I have 3 email accounts set up. One pop3, one imap, and one exchange. They
all have an inbox. How do I set this up for one inbox?

No AFAIK - certainly you can't combine the IMAP account. IMAP replicates the
folders on the IMAP server, so it's not possible.

The pop and exchange will share an inbox if you set exchange as the default
delivery location. IMAP has to have its own mailbox folders.

Your Exchange and POP accounts should already share an Inbox, unless you
have OL 2007 and you deliberately separated them or you have rules defined
that sort the mail into separate inboxes. You can combine the IMAP Inbox
with the default Inbox using rules, but doing so sort of defeats the purpose
of IMAP.

Hi,
I should have left a lot more info. I moved a user who was using these 3
accounts on an old pc with Outlook 2003 to a new pc with Outlook 2007. The
old pc is not available but he claims that all accounts went to one inbox.
On a completely different pc with 2003 I notice there is a drop down box
under email accounts called: Deliver new email to the following location:
This may have been what was used in his old pc to put all of the email in
one inbox.
I can't find anything similar on 2007. (By the way the imap account is
aol.) The person who originally set this up is long gone.

The reason he wants to do this is that he doesn't want to check 3 different
inboxes for his mail.

Do I do this using rules as you suggested or is there a better way? (I'm a
basic outlook user.)

IMAP can't share the same inbox as exchange and pop. No way, no how. You'd
need to run rules to remove the mail from the inbox and rules don't work
well on imap. So at the very least, you need two mailbox - imap and
exchange. With Outlook 2003 and 2007, use the Favorites Folder pane at the
top of the mailbox - drop shortcuts to the inboxes there (they should be
there by default) rather than scrolling the folder list.

In Ol2007, the deliver to location is at tools, account settings, set as
default button

i have the same problem too. why cant you just use the excisting one with the
folders?? its rather sily that you have to have two accounts. One just
useless and the active one. also, how can you have outlook to alert you when
you have a new email (imap)?

IMAP accounts store mail on the server and copy it to the client for offline
access. This allows you to use it from many different computers. If IMAP
accts shared the folders with other accts, all of your mail would be
uploaded to the IMAP server.

IMAP doesn't understand calendar, tasks, contacts folders so you need the
second set of folders for those item types. If you don't use calendar and
tasks, then it's probably better to use a different IMAP client.

If you THINK about it, of course you can't do that. the whole point about
IMAP is that it MIRRORS THE FOLDERS ON THE SERVER. That is why you cannot
"combine" an IMAP account into the same set of folders as another account
type.

What you could do is to forward the OP mail to the Imap mail and make the
IMAP mail the default delivery location....

Old post, but in case someone else is looking for this info, just like I did. Solution is to setup AOL accounts as POP3. This is what I did in Outlook 2007:
-> TOOLS
-> ACCOUNT SETTINGS
-> NEW
-> choose 1st option for POP3
-> NEXT
-> put check-mark to MANUALLY SETUP
-> NEXT
-> 1st option = INTERNET EMAIL
-> NEXT
-> account type=POP3
-> under Incoming = pop.aol.com , outgoing = smtp.aol.com -> MORE SETTINGS
-> Outgoing server = put check-mark
-> In Advanced: POP3 = 995, SMTP = 587, check-mark for SSL, and TLS for encrypted connection.

Now all my e-mail folders under one (whichever is default) account. And everything is in one pst file. I have 4 e-mail addresses and 2 of them AOL. Hope it helps someone.
