If you're not seeing a Bin (Trash) folder in your Mail app for your iCloud account, you can try the following steps to resolve the issue:

Ensure Mailbox Behaviors are Set Correctly​

1. Open the Mail App:
   • Launch the Mail app on your Mac.
2. Access Mail Preferences:
   • Click on Mail in the menu bar.
   • Select Preferences.
3. Mailbox Behaviors:
   • Go to the Accounts tab.
   • Select your iCloud account from the list on the left.
   • Click on the Mailbox Behaviors tab.
   • Make sure the Trash Mailbox is set. If you don't see an option to choose the Trash mailbox, continue to the next step.

Rebuild Mailbox​

1. Rebuild the Mailbox:
   • Select the mailbox (Inbox or any other) you want to rebuild in the Mail app.
   • Go to Mailbox in the menu bar.
   • Select Rebuild. This process might take a few minutes depending on the size of your mailbox.

Check iCloud Settings​

1. Sign in to iCloud.com:
   • Open a web browser and go to iCloud.com.
   • Sign in with your Apple ID.
2. Check Mail Settings:
   • Open the Mail app on iCloud.com.
   • Ensure that you see the Trash/Bin folder here. If it’s missing, there might be an issue with your iCloud settings.

Add Trash Mailbox Manually​

1. Manually Add Trash Mailbox:
   • If the Trash mailbox is still not showing, you can add it manually.
   • In the Mail app, go to Mailbox in the menu bar.
   • Select New Mailbox....
   • Choose iCloud as the location and name it Trash or Bin.
2. Set the New Mailbox as Trash:
   • Go back to Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox Behaviors.
   • Set the newly created Trash mailbox as the Trash Mailbox.

Restart Mail App and Mac​

• Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve sync issues.
• Quit the Mail app and restart your Mac.

Update macOS​

• Ensure that your macOS is up to date. Sometimes, updates can fix bugs and improve functionality.
• Go to System Preferences > Software Update and install any available updates.
