If you understand the difference between IMAP and POP the logic of this
becomes clearer:

* IMAP is a protocol for interacting with a remote server. The mail is
assumed to stay on the server, so of course each server (actually each
account) has its own folder.

* POP is a protocol for downloading mail from a server. By default, the
mail is assumed to be stored locally in one place. Having multiple POP
accounts doesn't change this.

You can change the behaviour of the POP server(s) by applying a filter
to incoming mail to sort it into one folder per account. See
