7.13.6   What can I do if my Spam mailbox in Apple Mail disappeared?

If you can’t find your Spam mailbox, most likely it’s still there but Mail is currently hiding it. To show the Spam mailbox:

1. From Mail’s View menu, choose Show Mailbox List if necessary so that the mailboxes are visible.
2. Locate the On My Mac section of the mailbox list. It is typically below the Mailboxes and Smart Mailboxes sections of the mailbox list. You may need to scroll down in order to find this. (macOS may have made the scroll bars invisible, but you can scroll down by two-finger dragging on your Mac’s trackpad or by using the scroll ball on the mouse.)
3. Move your mouse over On My Mac in the mailbox list. Then click the Show button that becomes visible at the right.
