When you add a new email account in Microsoft Outlook, it will create a new data file if you do not configure to deliver new message to Existing Outlook Data File.

The new data file shows as a folder with sub-folders of Inbox, Sent Items, Delete Items, etc. in the Navigation Pane. And all incoming email messages of this account will be saved in this sub-folder of Inbox. Therefore, there may be many inbox folders in your Microsoft Outlook.

And this article is arranged to guide you to change defaulted inbox folders, and combine multiple inboxes of different email accounts into one.

The Merge Inboxes utility of Kutools for Outlook can help you easily merge specified inboxes of multiple email accounts in Outlook. See screenshot:

  This was the only thread that I found that seemed to help, but I have a slightly different problem. When I created the Outlook account on my new computer, I had a ton of trouble getting Outlook to find/read my .pst file. As a result, I now have two nearly identical sets of folders showing on Outlook. But only one is getting new mail. There is only one folder in documents/outlook/outlook.pst, so I can't figure out why Outlook seems to be reading two sets of this information. Is there any way to delete one?

  Hello,
  This article is very helpful and useful (pictures, yay!). However, I don't see the folder that I want to designate as the main inbox when I follow these steps. Any suggestions? Thank you!

  I was trying to separate my Outlook 2016 inboxes and could not find the 'change folder' either. It turns out, it is there, but not on both accounts I had listed. I thought it wasn't there at all, but then I found it on one account only. Try clicking different accounts if you're having trouble. It's in the same place it shows in the tutorial.

    Folder option is present ONLY on POP3 accounts, not on IMAP nor on Exchange.
    This has perfectly sense if you consider that POP3 folders are local, while IMAP and Exchang folders are local copy of server ones
