How to move new account folders to Local Folders?

If my senility allows, I thought in the past, when creating a new Account, I could choose the folder location, i.e. create a new folder, or "merge" into the Local Folders. I have a dozen email accounts, and previously all accounts shared a common inbox, etc. When I create an account now, it seems the process forces the creation of a new folder, outside of Local, and then allows you to change some of the folder choices, but doesn't seem to allow me to move the whole account back under Local.

Whenever I try to search for help on this topic I seem to get unrelated help so perhaps I am not wording the search correctly?

Thanks, Lew

If you create an IMAP account you can not use the local folders inbox. IF you use POP the option in in the advanced button in server settings.

The closest thing to the universal inbox of the pop account for IMAP is to use the unified folders view in the folder pane.
