Lost 'Bin' Folder in Mail
I seem to have lost my Bin for deleted emails in one of my accounts but not others. So I can't recover misplaced items and I can't erase the deleted items.
iMac 21.5″, macOS 10.15

For problem accounts the go to way to sort things out is to delete the account(s) from the Mail.app, then add it back.

IMAP accounts stay on the server, so no local loss, when you re-sync
POP accounts download and remove from the server—therefor save your inbox/sent box if you want them
“On My Mac" is just that, local folders you created and moved mail into. So no loss
Every Account has Server Settings. Verify your Setting for your 'problem account' if in doubt...

You can add or remove mailboxes, move your mouse pointer to the right side to reveal the + and use the dropdown...
