Hidden Trash folders?

Since upgrading to Big Sur, some of my "Favorites" mailboxes are missing their trash folders or rather they appear to be hidden somehow. If I delete an email, I cannot find in any of the several "Trash" folders listed in the Mailboxes column but if I search for a deleted email in "all mailboxes", I can find it in a trash folder named for the specific email account. I just cannot go to it directly from a Trash folder in the Mailboxes list.

Not sure if I'm explaining this succinctly.....

This might help if I understand your question right. Upper left side, above All Inboxes, you should see the word Favorites. Hover your cursor on the word and a + sign should appear. Click on that + sign, then a new box comes up where you can select which mailbox to include under favorites, in your instance All Trash. Then click OK and All Trash should be now under Favorites.

Thank you, that worked! Since I had it before the upgrade, don't understand why it should have disappeared afterwards. So far I'm okay with most of the changes with Big Sur but really don't like any of the so-called "upgrades" to Mail. Don't see anything that has made life easier/better, just any aggravating/annoying differences. IMHO anyway.

Same as motor kitty here. Why the mail application doesn't default to that I don't know. Only the POP mail trash/junk was hidden. All better now.
