Well the IMAP account has to live in a separate inbox. It's due to the
fact that IMAP accounts as synched with the server and not downloaded on
your Mac (then deleted from the server, as with POP accounts).

You can cheat though. Create a smart view to display all e-mail from
both inboxes and use this one.
I usually create one to display unread e-mails from all my accounts. I
find it fairly convenient.

This shows how to create a smart view...

Or you can create an IMAP rule under Tools --> Rules... that moves your
incoming messages to the Inbox under the folders "On My Computer".

Hope this helps!
