What is on my mac mail folder

A curious question!

By default, the Mail folder on a Mac contains the following subfolders:

  1. Inbox: This is where new emails are stored when they arrive in your mailbox.
  2. Sent: This folder contains emails you've sent to others.
  3. Drafts: This folder stores emails you've started composing but haven't yet sent.
  4. Trash: This folder contains emails you've deleted, but they're not permanently deleted yet. You can recover them from here if needed.
  5. Junk: This folder contains emails that have been flagged as spam or junk mail.
  6. Archive: This folder stores emails you've moved from your Inbox or other folders to keep them organized and out of the way.
  7. Deleted Messages: This folder contains emails that have been permanently deleted from your mailbox.

Keep in mind that the exact structure and content of your Mail folder may vary depending on your email provider, email client settings, and personal preferences.
