assigning a folder to an added email account?

[mgac]

when adding email accounts, why did the imap account automatically setup
under a new folder, and the pop3 account setup altogether under the main
inbox folder? can i add the imap to the inbox as well? can i setup a rule
for it? thanks!

POP and Exchange accounts are aggregated under one message store. Each
IMAP account gets its own message store. Each HTTP account gets its own
message. Each message store has its own separate list of folders.

IMAP accounts always get their own folders. You can't "add the IMAP" to the
delivery location Inbox. Sure you could create a rule. What version of
Outlook?

No, IMAP accounts get their own folder branches
