Can't find mailboxes in Mail

In past iterations of mail mailboxes were highlighted and easily found from any message filed in a mailbox. Now this does not happen and I can't find mailboxes when I want them. Please help.

Do you have a screen shot of what you're seeing?

Mail>Preferences>General, try checking Classic Layout.

Missing mailboxes In desperation to solve a mail problem I deleted all my old P Lists. It didn't solve the problem but all the mailboxes I'd created for various correspondents disappeared. When I tried to recreate one I got a message saying it exists. But where? How do I make these presumably existing mailboxes show up again?

Which mailbox is my mail in‽ I have what is perhaps a silly number of nested mailboxes created on my Mac, and it's a pain that iOS does not do nesting as the list becomes very long. My problem is that if I want to file a new incoming mail with one from the same recipient when I search for their name in the search bar it will find it, but only ever says it is in All mail which is not a lot of help! The other oddity I find in Mail is that if I go to file an email from the Move to option within the email perhaps 50% of the time it does not move it, while it always works in the Message viewer. Cheers, Colin

Was there a recent change to the Mail program? There used to be a mailbox in the Mail Sidebar where any emails that I deleted would appear, and they would stay in that mailbox until I logged out of the Mail program. There is no mailbox in the Sidebar now where deleted emails are placed. Occasionally, after deleting an email, I needed to take another look at it, and I could click on that deleted mailbox and, if necessary, move that email back into the Inbox. Anyone know why that mailbox no longer shows. I can't find anyway to bring it up, and deleted emails do not show in the Trash mailboxes in the Sidebar, or anywhere else? All the best, Bob
