After Big Sur update, deleted mail and junk mail disappeared from view

Thank you! Worked like a charm!

There is a fix in this thread, did you try that?

Thank you - huge help!

Thank YOU! ; ) This was VERY Helpful!

No kidding! Just got here and found this out based on someone's "look here (link)." Makes me wonder what else is hiding where in Big Sur?

THANK YOU, you are genius

Hi there I too have lost my junk mail after downloading the Big Sur and have followed your instruction above but I do not have the + sign in favourites to add junk mail? Any ideas? Vicky

Thank you!

Thank you so much for this! I love when I get an answer on the first goog. :)

I lost even more emails, had like 25 folders in my inbox. When emptying the trashcan, all those folders, including the emails, was deleted. And of course they were deleted from the mail server as well. Luckily my gaming-PCs were offline, so I could make a fresh backup and restore everything, via Outlook on Windows. After speaking with Apple Support we tried again. Made a fresh account in the Mac and set the mail up again. Same story. What's remarkable is that Outlook works flawless on the Mac, but not Apples Mail-application.

Thank you worked like magic!

Thank you. Apple could not have made it more obscure!

Thank you! It was driving me crazy :-)

I've clicked on the + under favourite and got the list but all junk is still not there. Anyone else having that issue or can explain how to find all junk?

after marking an email as junk, the junk folder option appeared in the list!
