Inbox vanishes from Mail MacOS Ventura

My Inbox vanished. I can't "rebuild" because the mailbox is gone. I can rebuild individual mailboxes, but that doesn't restore Inbox. I tried restarting Mail, no luck. Restart Mac, no luck. I have no idea why Inbox disappeared, I was in the process of reviewing junk mail prior to deleting it and the Inbox (a default smart folder containing what appear to be smart folders for the mail accounts) just vanished. How do I restore it?

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 13.4
