Hi jkilps,


We see you're missing your Junk and Trash folders in the Mail app on your Mac.


To aid us in isolating this issue, can you clarify the following?

  • Are these under the "On My Mac" section of the Mail app or associated to a specific account such as iCloud or Outlook?
  • Have any mail accounts been recently removed from your Mac prior to the emails disappearing?
  • If you have access to your accounts on other devices such as an iPhone or iPad, are the missing messages there?


Additionally, do you have a pre-existing Time Machine backup of your Mac? If so, you can check your Time Machine backup for options to restore missing data here:


Let us know these additional details and we'll follow up from there.


Cheers!
