MacOS Mail App: Is there a way to split the Trash/Junk Toolbar icon? Causes unintended junk filtering

Wondering why the Trash and Junk icons are fused together and if there is a way to separate them.

I would like to put the Junk icon further away from the Trash icon because I have inadvertently marked some mail as Junk when I simply meant to delete it. This has caused me to miss some critical emails.


I can't think of a reason they are together except the programmer thinks they are close enough to the same thing--which they are definitely NOT.

Yes, you can separate the Trash and Junk icons in Mail.

Right-click (control-click) the toolbar and select Customize Toolbar...

You can then remove the fused icon and replace with two separate icons located where you like.
