Big Sur Mail Trash

I just upgraded to Big Sur. When I move a message to trash by clicking the icon, it is absolutely gone. In Catalina, I was always able to view the trash before permanently deleting it and I could move it back to the inbox or any other folder I have if I mistakenly placed it in trash. Am I missing something or is moving the message to trash actually deleting it? Thanks!

I contacted Apple support, they had me go into mailbox behaviors and move everything to the imap servers instead on my my mac. When it is on on "My Mac" mail creates a seperate folder for trash and junk for each mailbox. Once I moved everything in "mailbox behaviors" my "All Trash", All Junk" etc all returned to favorites automatically.
