The spam folder has gone from the left bar (used to be in Favorites)

Hello,


After upgrading to Big Sur, I could not find in Mail the spam folder which used to be among the Favorites in the left bar. Very handy to have it there to quickly double-check emails filtered and tagged as spam by the system.


I'd like to get it back, but I don't know how. Would any one of you know?


Thanks

Place the cursor over the Favorites label in the side bar and you'll see an add button (+), click it and you'll find the Spam option in the dropdown menu. Click OK and Spam folder will show up again in Favs.
