I accidentally deleted the Trash Mailbox from my iCloud email. The mailbox has been deleted on all my devices.

I'm able to create a new mail folder and name it trash, but that doesn't have the same behaviour or icon as the normal Trash mailbox.

Is there anyway to restore the default mailboxes? Or change the icon and behaviour of a newly created mailbox to match that of the original Trash mailbox?
 
I don't think you can restore it but if you go to Mail -> Settings -> Accounts -> [iCloud] -> Mailbox Behaviors tab -> Trash Mailbox (Bin Mailbox in UK English) and set that to the folder you just created, then the system should correctly treat that folder as the trash mailbox.
