I am on W 10, I have had a unified inbox for my 2 POP accounts, I recently switched one account to an IMAP account which still uses the old email address. Doing this messed with the unified account so I reset the account settings of the new IMAP account to be separate from the POP acct. but when I went to do the same withe POP account, the section Copies and Folders lists only the new IMAP acct. and Local Folders no mention of the separate POP acct. How do I return this account's controls back to the original acct. name and eliminate the unified acct. "Local Folders"? Thanks Chris

I think the instructions for adding or removing an account from the global inbox are covered here:
