Mail accounts that are local ("POP3" etc) all end up in the local "On
this computer" Inbox, because the mail is only on your local machine
once you have pulled it from the mail server.

Mail accounts that are remote ("IMAP" etc) end up with a separate node
and a separate inbox, as they are synced to what is also on the
corresponding mail server.

You could set up a (virtual) search folder based on the two inboxes:

You could set up a filter to move/copy mail from one folder to another:
