Mail not showing up in JUNK folder

In Mail on my mac their are multiple emails. Some of the email accounts are not appearing in the junk folder, therefore all the junk emails for all the accounts are not being deleted at once. Here's a pic. You can see that only 3 of the five email accounts appear in junk. How can I link the 2 that are missing?

Under Mail > Preferences, go to the "Accounts" tab. From there, select the account which is not displaying its Junk folder. Click on the "Mailbox Behavior" tab for that account, and make sure the correct Junk folder is selected under the "Junk Mailbox" dropdown menu. If the option is not available, it may be that you have set the account up incorrectly. I would suggest removing it, and making sure to use IMAP if you have not already done so.
