I accidentally deleted my Junk folder. No problem, I thought. I'll just drag it out of the trash. Well, I couldn't find a way to get it back out of the trash. What I ended up doing was to delete the Junk folder from the trash (just to eliminate the possibility of naming clashes) and then created a folder named Junk in the normal place. Then I had to fiddle with some filters to get them to use the new Junk folder.
Shouldn't I have been able to just drag the deleted Junk folder out of the trash?

POP account.
Does it make a difference? The deleted Junk folder was empty. I do not leave the messages on the server (comcast.net).

It does make a difference in that with an IMAP account you might have to "fight" the server to deal with the online Junk folder. With a POP account I would have expected it to be possible to undelete or drag the Junk folder out of the Trash.

As a test I just created an empty test folder and deleted it. I could drag it out of the trash.
Must be something special about folders named Junk. I noticed that when I created the new Junk folder it was assigned the special icon (kind of looks like a small flame to me). So that was an indication that the name Junk carries special meaning.
