Missing Trash in Mac Mail after Monterey Upgrade

I upgraded a Macbook Pro 15" mid-2015 from Mohave to Monterey. So far, I've been able to overcome the most glaring weird quarks, EXCEPT for this one.

Trash and Junk folders are gone from Mail.

They still appear on my iOS devices but emails that I deleted on my MacBook since the upgrade are not in those folders. The emails are just gone.

I thought I'd experiment with Rebuild Mailbox but it does nothing that I can see.

In Mailbox dropdown menu I see the options to Erase Deleted items and Erase Junk, however there are no folders to erase.

Please help. Thanks.

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 12.4

Nevermind, I just fixed my own problem as soon as I asked!

For anyone else with this problem...

Mouse over "Favorites" just above the All Inboxes dropdown and a + symbol will appear, as well as another dropdown arrow that minimizes your Favorites.
Select the + symbol and voila! A box appears to select the missing mailboxes!
Select the dropdown menu and choose Trash. Then go back and do it again to choose Junk.
