Default How do I setup my IMAP inbox folder to be my main inbox?

I've set up outlook to receive an IMAP inbox. How do I set this to be my main
inbox? Currently the IMAP inbox is in a subfolder under the IMAP server name.
Thanks.

What you see is how an IMAP account works. The reason for this is that your
"real" inbox is on the IMAP server; what you see in Outlook is a mirror
image of this. What you can do is create a rule to copy or move email from
the IMAP Inbox to your local Inbox folder.

That link doesn't tell me how to create the rule, just tells me rules on IMAP
folders. Thanks.

ToolsRules and Alerts is where you create rules. Select the IMAP Inbox in
the "Apply changes to this folder" drop-down on the first screen.
