Default emails in different inboxes

I have had Outlook 2007 for over a year and email from my three accounts have
always gone into one inbox so it was very easy to check and keep track of
them. I had some issues with my computer and had to reinstall Outlook 2007.
When I reentered my email accounts, they are now going into 3 different
inboxes and they do not register on the Outlook Today Page. I don't believe
that I did anything different but I can't seem to get it back to the way I
had it... please help!! I use Outlook so I didn't have to go and check
multiple places for my email, and now it seems Outlook in making me do so. I
am running Vista as my operating system... if that helps... PLEASE...
any suggesstions will be appreciated!!

Default emails in different inboxes

Which mail account types are you using?
If they are all POP3 then by default they will all go to the same message
store. You can modify it by going to;
Tools- Account Settings...- select account - button Change Folder

IMAP accounts always have their own message store because they are a 2-way
sync. This is the case for any version of Outlook and in fact even for any
mail client as the IMAP protocol require it.

Did you perhaps previously used the POP3 connection for your AOL account
instead?

I am not sure... I set up the emails the same way both times, I used the
wizard. Would Outlook set up the accounts differently?

Then you did not use IMAP before. Outlook has never aggregated IMAP accounts
into the same folders. IMAP protocols simply do not allow it.

It could be that AOL has modified its autoconfiguration settings to prefer
IMAP usage over POP3 since the last time you used the autoconfiguration
option in the wizard. When you configure it manually you can choose between
POP3 and IMAP.
