I use two email accounts. The main one is a POP/SMTP account and the other a Gmail account. Until yesterday, emails sent to either account went into the main Outlook inbox under personal folders. I had problems with my Gmail password and could not get Outlook to work with the new password so I - stupidly, it seems - deleted the Gmail account and reinstalled it. This worked OK except that the Gmail account appears separately nder the list of folders and has its own inbox which isn't linked to the personal folders inbox.

I have tried various ways to link them but can't find a way to do it.

The easiest way appears to go into the Accounts Settings box, select the Gamail account and use the Change Folder button to redirect emails to inbox. However, there is no Change Folders button for the Gmail account, there is for the other on, even if I make it the default account. Can anyone help please?
 
On the Gmail account, can you create a rule for incoming email to be moved into your main Outlook inbox folder.
 
You need to remove the Gmail account and add it back manually. You'll need an app password to add it as pop.

On the dialog in Outlook where you add the address, click Advanced options and check to use manually setup then click connect. Choose pop on the next screen and when asked for the password, paste in the app password.

You can get a new app password in your gmail account settings, at Account settings: Your browser is not supported.
 
Thanks for the clear instructions, Diane! Using the app password and manual setup worked perfectly for me to get Gmail into Outlook as POP.
