New Gmail address in Mac Mail's sidebar

I was able to easily set up a new Gmail account in MacMail but I'm confused about setting up the sidebar listing. The Apple support page has an example showing "Favorites" at the top of the hierarchy. Under that "All Inboxes" and within that all their example email inboxes.


Mine, OTH, has "Favorites" > "Inbox-Gmail" > "Gmail" which is my main Gmail account. The new, separate gmail addy was just inserted at the bottom of the sidebar, below the other various email addies I have. How do I get the sidebar to operate like Apple's example with all inboxes up top?


(On top of that, other than my iCloud addy, those other addies only have a single Inbox and nothing more. How on earth does one deal with the sidebar?)

iMac 27″, macOS 11.6

You will have to do a bit of experimenting..to add or remove what you want to see and where
