I need a single Outlook E-mail inbox, Easy
August 23, 2013 2:35 PM Subscribe
I own my own business. After a screen crack on a lap top, I bought a new laptop. I also bought Office 2013, with Outlook.
How can I get a single inbox? It wants to set up multiple inboxes and I do not want to have to check different inboxes. I had a single inbox on my Outlook 2010. Every link I see on Google has ridiculous levels of power user requirements that I have neither the time nor the ability to do. Can anyone help?

Response by poster: I thought .pst functionality was wiped out in Outlook 2013? I also need an old .pst to merge with the new E-mail.

1. Open Microsoft Outlook and click on File menu.
2. In the File menu, click on Account Settings and in the drop down menu that appears, select Settings again.
3. You will be presented with the Account Settings window that lists all of your existing email accounts. Make sure you are on the Email tab
4. Click on the email account whose inbox you wish to combine. MS Outlook will present you with Change Folder option towards the bottom of the Account Settings window.
5. In the Change Folder dialog box, select Outlook and then Inbox. If you wish the mail to be delivered to a custom folder, click New Folder to create a new folder. In case you wish to use a new PST file for email, you can select New Outlook File. But since your contacts, calendar etc are already stored in outlook.pst, it is better to select Outlook -> Inbox as it will save time on backing up files .
6. Once you have selected the folder you wish, click OK.
7. Repeat steps 4 to 7 for each email account inbox you want to combine.
8. Close the Account Settings window
