Before Big Sur, in Mail, there was always a junk folder for all your email accounts. Now that is gone. You can only see sent, drafts etc.

also used to be all trash folder which is now gone - so I have to go into each mail version and do deletes. Something they brought over from IOS that they shouldn't have

You can bring that back as well, using the info from the link above. I don't know why it is not on by default though!
 
Yeah, all the consolidated mailboxes are now in Favourites for some reason, and have to be added manually. Not an intuitive change imo.
 
Unfortunately, "All Junk: is not present in the Favorite scroll list. Furthermore, the Junk icon no longer turns into Not Junk when wanting to flag a message as not junk.

Oh MAN! I know this thread is old, but I couldn't reply to the guy on the Apple Boards because that thread was closed too, but THANKS!

This was super annoying and I'm really happy to have the "All Junk" folder finally restored.

Much obliged!

Yeah, that change annoyed me as soon as it arrived.

Luckily, I found the "combined mailboxes" under Favourites really quickly, but the fact the original mailboxes are still listed annoy me. What I mean by this is ... say you enable the combined inbox for all your accounts. Great! But the inbox is still listed under each account, and both get a "1" or whatever when new mails arrive. Grr.

It's been ages since this change and I've gotten used to it, but even so.

If it ain't broke, why do they keep "fixing" it and then not fixing the things in Mail that are broke. Like the block mail filtering that just never works and/or never sends messages directly to the Trash?...

But still very grateful for this solution and hope someone can tell the guy on the Apple Boards a big thank you too. Bummer you can't reach a poster once the thread is dead. Apple should give us the ability to message each other on the site.

Cheers,

Mick
