Combine Accounts
I have read the your post, and it is correct that you cannot combine accounts. However, you can merge them. Merging Outlook accounts means that you will combine the data from two or more accounts into one account. This includes your emails, contacts, and calendars.
To merge Outlook accounts, you will need to use the Merge Accounts feature in Outlook. This feature is only available in Outlook for Windows.
Here are the steps on how to merge Outlook accounts:
- Open Outlook.
- Click on the File tab.
- Click on Account Settings.
- Click on the Email tab.
- Click on the Merge Accounts button.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to merge your accounts.
Once you have merged your accounts, you will be able to access all of your data from one account. You will also be able to send and receive emails from both accounts using the same address.
Here are some things to keep in mind when merging Outlook accounts:
- You can only merge accounts that are of the same type. For example, you cannot merge an Exchange account with a POP3 account.
- You cannot merge accounts that are already using the same email address.
- If you have any folders that are shared between the accounts that you are merging, these folders will be merged as well.
I hope this helps

That feature doesn't exist and was probably made up by ChatGPT to generate your answer 😉

Hi Robert , I don't have the merge accounts on my screen , we did change our emails from POP to IMAP and I have problems merging 3 accounts into one.
Thank you,
