Err, welcome I think. In future (it doesn't particularly matter here),
you need to say what version of Evolution you are using when asking for
help here - things change, sometimes rapidly, between versions.

Depends on what sort of accounts are configured. But in general,
anything remote (like IMAP, Google, EWS, etc.) are remote and not "On
This Computer". Anything that is stored locally, such as POP downloaded
messages, are actually in the Evolution data store so are "On This
Computer" and so are displayed there.

Basically "On This Computer" means managed by Evolution and held in
Evolution's own data stores. (A local mbox folder, for instance, is
outside of Evolution's control so not displayed under "On This
Computer".)

If you want to see all the mails in all your Inboxes in one place then
you need to setup a search folder to do it.
