Unable to locate "Inbox" in my Mail app

I have tried closing and opening mail, restarting my MacBook Air, Going to Window on menu and unchecking sent mail, and updating my privacy settings. HELP!


[Re-Titled by Moderator]

Original Title: When opening MAIL, my window defaults to "ALL SENT" messages. I can't find my INBOXES anymore

MacBook Air 15″, macOS 15.6

Not sure where you stand, but a common issue is that the Favorites folder is collapsed. Move your mouse over Favorites in the sidebar and click the “>” icon.


If the All Inboxes is still not visible, move your mouse over Favorites in the sidebar and click the “+” icon and add the “All Inboxes” folder.
