Can I include the "Junk" folder in "Today" smart folder?

[jagooch]

In Apple mail(macos), I want to use the "Today" smart folder to see every email I received today, regardless of what happened to it after being received. That would help me see what happened to a message that I expected to receive but isn't in my inbox for some reason. A mail rule may have filed it into Junk or Trash, it may have went to Junk based on Apple's own filters, etc.

However, I don't see an option to include Junk in the smart folder. Are there any work arounds for this? I'm running macOS 12.6.

Mail's Smart Folders do not have much structure. A Smart Folder can only have a single list of Any or All criteria. It would be easy to do what you want if the Any and All could be nested.

The best I can do is to suggest my solution which is to have a "Junk (unread)" Smart Mailbox:

It stands out in the list of Smart Folders because of the non-zero count.
