Where is the Junk Folder in Mavericks Mail?

Apple swapped out busted hard drive and installed 10.9.5. Where is the Junk Folder in Mail??? I've now spent about a half hour searching for the answer and no joy. Please help.

It is part of mail but if missing you could go to the top and pick mailbox and pick new and name that Junk.

I am using IMAP for an AOL e-mail account
Well, that probably explains it. I bet you have checked Store deleted messages on the server. If so, this is not an IMAP issue, but rather an AOL issue (actually, .Mac is IMAP as well).
AOL doesn't let mail clients create mailboxes at the root level of the account directory, only as subfolders of Saved, and I'm not sure even that is possible now.
You may find instructions for setting up an AOL account in Mail here:
http://members.aol.com/adamkb/aol/mailfaq/imap/applemail.html
The instructions are for Mail 1.3, but they can be used for Mail 2.x as well, noting that the Special Mailboxes preference pane is called Mailbox Behaviors in Mail 2.x.
You may also want to read the more general guide the above article is part of:
Accessing the AOL Mail System using IMAP - An Unofficial Guide
BTW, in the case of Trash or Junk, I don't see the point of storing those messages on the server, even if that would work. They take valuable space there for no apparent benefit. I would only store Sent messages on the server (which cannot be done with AOL either).

When I mark a mail in the junk folder as 'not junk', is there a way to have it automatically move to the inbox?

Apple Mail keeps putting good messages into the Junk folder. I mark them as 'not junk', but then they just sit there. It is really tedious to have to move them back to the inbox, and change the colour back to black. Is there any way to do this automatically?
I originally placed this question on the Snow Leopard group, but since then I have updated to Lion. I was hoping that Lion would have provided a solution, but it seems not. In the Snow Leopard group, somebody posted a script which apparently works in Snow Leopard, but I have no idea if it works in Lion, as there doesn't seem to be any way to load scripts.
This is the script, anyway.
It was given to me by <Bernard Hills> but I don't know who wrote it.

OK, I've discovered how to access the library.
It's here: http://techheavy.com/2011/07/access-the-user-library-folder-in-lion/
But I don't really want to try that script in case it screws something up. I know zero about scripting.

How do you identify mail in the junk folder as "not junk"?

I came across this answer on the Apple support site:
Tell Mail that a message is legitimate by marking it as not junk. Click Not Junk in the banner of the message; or select the message, then click the Not Junk button in the Mail toolbar.
Unfortunately, I don't see "not junk" in the banner of the message (not entirely sure what a "banner" is, but I'm looking everywhere) or a thumbs up button on any toolbar.

CTS wrote:
I do not see that option. The messages in my junk folder do not have those buttons on them.
Then they weren't marked as Junk by Mail.
Things can end up in your Junk folder in one of three ways:
1) Mail's junk filter reviews the message and determines it is junk. It then marks it as junk and moves it into the Junk folder (if prefs set to do so).
2) An email server marks the message with spam headers because it thinks it is spam. Mail will move those messages to Junk if you have the prefs set to trust junk mail headers. It does not mark those as Junk because it doesn't know why they have the headers set, just that they do.
3) Your email provider has moved the message to the Spam folder on the server and you are using IMAP (or other server-based account). Again, Mail will not mark those as Junk as Mail did not make the determination that they were Junk.

Where is the Sites folder in Mavericks?

Where is the Sites folder in Mavericks? Only now I am realizing that I don't have a Sites folder where it used to be: Go/Home/Sites
My local website folder used to be in the Sites folder. I am having website-synchronizing problems.
I just started using Mavericks (on one of my hard drives) regularly.

It is part of mail but if missing you could go to the top and pick mailbox and pick new and name that Junk.

Smart Mailboxes don't work with the junk folder

I've had a Smart Mailbox that worked for many years, but now it wont. This Smart Mailbox is set up like this:
Contains messages that match all of the following conditions:
Message is in Mailbox Junk
Subject Does not contain *VL-JUNK*
Subject Does not contain *SL-JUNK*
And that's it. *SL-JUNK* is put into the subject lines of suspected emails by my email hosting company. The reason I have this smart mailbox is to double check emails that Mac Mail thinks are junk but aren't. It's a system that has worked great until recently.
I've noticed that when I change the Smart Mailbox to this:
Contains messages that match all of the following conditions:
Message is in Mailbox Junk
Nothing populates the mailbox. Are Smart Mailboxes no longer able to pull emails from the Junk folder?
Thanks!

go to mail preferences->general and make sure that the box "when searching mailboxes include results from Junk" is checked. if it's checked already uncheck and recheck it.

I inadvertently removed the junk mailbox from Mail.app in SL, how can I recreate / restore it ?

Hi,
Well, the title says it all : I inadvertently removed the junk mailbox from Mail.app in SL,
it still is spresent in my ~/library/mail folder, how can I recreate / restore it in mail.app ?
Since I have a fair number of email accounts, intelligent mailboxes, rules and archive folder, I really don't want to rebuild everything. And, no, I can't use time machine to restore it.
All help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi AdamKB, sorry for late follow-up.
What I lost is the "container" that groups all junk mailboxes in one place in Mail, like is done for all the inboxes.
The problem is that I lost visibility on all junk mailboxes. It is only a visibility problem because the junk mailboxes are still present locally for my POP accounts and remotely for may IMAP accounts, I justdon't see them anymore in Mail's interface.

Where's the conversation in mac mail?

Where's the conversation in mac mail? Like in Gmail. Mac Mail in conversation mode only shows one side of the 'conversation'. You have to go to the sent folder to the see the other side. Anyone know of way to change the view? Sparrow mail even has both sides of the conversation in the in box. Surprised mail is lacking this.

Go to Preferences > Viewing and check "Include Related Messages". Mail randomly turned this off for me recently and I had to find it and turn back on.

I send myself an email and it goes into the Junk folder

Sometimes - but not always - when I send myself an email, from my own computer and not a work computer, the email ends up in the Junk folder. I mark it as Not Junk and move it to the In Box but that doesn't solve the problem. As I say, this doesn't happen with every email I send myself, just sometimes. For the most part, Junk works just like it's supposed to and I like it. It's just kind of weird that MY computer thinks MY mail is junk. (Well, it might be, but that's another story.)
For what it's worth, my email address is a .mac account.
Any thoughts on how to fix this?

Email sent on my iphone 5 does not show in the sent folder in mail on my macbook pro and vice versa especially since update to Yosemite

I have an iphone 5 and a Macbook pro. Since upgrading to Yosemite, when I send an email from my yahoo email account or another email account linked to my website, on my iphone, the emails don't show in the sent folder in mail on my macbook pro and vice versa.
I have deleted the accounts and re-created them on both my iphone and macbook pro but the samething keeps happening.
When last I was at the istore, they were unable to sort it out and said I needed to book it in.
Any suggestions that will prevent me from booking my macbook pro in are welcome.

Hi,
Are you saying you are trying to synch iMessages across two iPhones ?
Or do you mean you are trying to get iMessage that were synced to one iPhone to show on another ?
Whilst the first is possible - from the date you add the second iPhone the second is not possible.

Is there any way to make the sent folder in mail list emails "to" instead of "from"

Is there any way to make the sent folder in mail list emails in the "to" order instead of "from".

Sure open Sent folder.
Just above first message is an icon titled Sort By Date followed by a downward pointing arrow.
Click on the arrow and select "To" from the list.

Where is the extension folder for Adobe Bridge? (Mac)

I am trying to install the output module on Adobe Bridge. I am totally new to Creative Suite and photoshop. I can't find any information on bridge extensions at all. Here's the page I found on installing the output module- http://helpx.adobe.com/bridge/kb/install-output-module-bridge-cc.html
I downloaded it but after that is says to copy it into the extension folder. Where is the extension folder? Is it is Bridge? Is it in Finder? Any information on extensions is much appreciated! What exactly are extensions? What is the difference between the extension folder and extension manager?
Thank you!

At first sight I can' see anything wrong about the correct locations you used.
There was no need to delete all workspaces but that also should do no harm I would think.
You once pointed at the bridge6.plist file but it is not clear to me what you did with it. Personally I would quit Bridge and delete this plist file manually and then restart with again holding down option and use reset preferences.
And you did also use the reset to standard workspaces instead of the reset workspace to only reset the selected workspace. I don't know for sure this will make a difference but it is worth a try.
And while you are in the user library to delete the plist file for Bridge also look in the folder caches in this library.
User / library/caches/adobe/Bridge CC and inhere find and delete both the plug in and cache folder, then restart Bridge.
Finally it might be also worth a try to download CS6, it should not be needed to do so but it was one of the earlier solutions that worked. In your ACC menu click on any app that shows blue and this brings you to the CC website. Choose download center and find PS. Click on the icon and this gives you the detailed download page. Inhere you can change CC to CS6.
Download PS6 it and install it (this also installs the CS6 version of Bridge which was not a separate download in CS6). Then try first start CS6 and start the AOM which is installed by default in this version.
Then when having used this once quit CS6 and try CC (or even combine with restarting your Mac).
Hope this helps, because I'm running out of options

Where are the emoticons in Mac Mail?

Where are the emoticons in Mac Mail 5.2 on OS 10.7.3?

I used colon parentheses with the smiley emoticon which is the normal code for a smiley. It works on this forum. I used to type these in all the time on Eudora so I'm familiar with the different combinations.
I added a space after it in the system preferences/language popup and sent myself another letter with it included and it still doesn't work in Mac mail (I added a space before and after it in MacMail). but it does work in TextEdit now.
Yes, "use symbol and text substution" is clicked.
The checkbox is ticked in the replace box; in the next box is the colon/parentheses with a space, and then the smiley in the next box.
Thanks for trying to help.
