How do I restore my archived mail folders after downloading Yosemite

After downloading Yosemite, all my archived mail folders have disappeared - can someone please help me, I really need to get this information back?

Do you have a backup?
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library. Then Mail/V2/Mailboxes

How to recover missing content of mail folders after upgrade to Maverick?

When I upgraded my Mac computer to Maverick I lost the content of my mail folders. The folders are there but there are no emails filed in them.

Try to re-index:
Repair & Reindex All Messages in Mail app
You may encounter an alert from Mail app telling you that the mailbox must be repaired, but you can also do this manually. This is particularly helpful if the search functions of the Mail app have become unreliable.
Quit out of Mail app and go to the Finder
Hit Command+Shift+G and go to the following path:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Delete every file that begins with “Envelope Index” (optional but recommended: back up these files to the desktop just in case something goes awry)
Close the MailData window, then relaunch Mail app to force reindexing
Like rebuilding the mailbox, the reindexing process can also take a while, depending on how large the mailbox is and how much mail is stored on the computer. Be prepared for a lengthy re-indexation if you have tons (thousands+) of messages in Mail app. When finished, try the search or perform the task that you had issues with before and things should be working as usual again.-These two solutions will fix most common mailbox related issues encountered in OS X Mail, so try them out the next time Mail app is performing strangely. On the mobile side of things, iOS does not have similar forced rebuilding and reindexing options, and thus to resolve similar issues you often have to remove the account from iOS Mail settings and then re-add it to resolve like problems, but that’s a topic for another article.

How do I restore just Apple Mail (and all its folders & settings) with TM?

Hi folks,
I was trying to set up an e-mail client on a PC, clicked and unclicked my gmail pop & imap on and off, and when I got home to my Apple MacBook, I had inadvertently reloaded (twice!) every e-mail that I've ever gotten in g-mail to Apple Mail which I use happily at home! No matter what I do, Apple Mail just won't delete the 29,000+ emails. And Mail is hanging, I suspect it just can't handle the massive numbers of e-mails and all the attachments, images, etc.
So I figure I must start from where I was at last Time Machine backup. I want to restore everything about Apple Mail as of my last backup -- all the same folders, saved mail, preferences, etc. How do I restore just Apple Mail but nothing else? Thanks!
-- Josh

I've never done that, and don't think I've seen any similar posts here. You might want to look in the Mail and Address Book forum at: http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1223
Take a look on your system at +<your home folder>/Library/Mail.+ (List view is probably best for this).
You'll see a number of folders for accounts and mailboxes. There are separate folders for each account, and within them for various mailboxes, plus folders for "on my Mac" mailboxes.
With Mail off, of course, I think you should be able to restore either the entire Mail folder, or selected sub-folders within it, via Finder > Time Machine.
After you do that, you may need to use the +Mail > Mailboxes > Rebuild+ option in Mail.
(Do not use the specialized Mail > Time Machine +Recover your <named> Mailbox+ option there, as it will leave the current contents alone, and restore the messages to a new "restored" mailbox.)
Let us know if this helps or hurts.

How can I restore my e-mail

Dear all,
I totally reinstalled my Powerbook G4.
Before I backup my mail by copying the content of
Library -> Mail -> [email protected]@mail.domain.com -> INBOX.mbx -> Messages
After the reinstallation, I opened Mail and I created my accounts.
Then I copyed my backup into the same path of my Mac.
But all pasted Messages (xx.emlx) are not displayed in the Inbox when I reopened Mail.
How can I restore those e-mails?
Many thank

Hi Pierrot10,
Insert your backup disc (or plug your external hd), then open Mail.
In the File menu, click *Import Mailboxes* and follow the steps for a *Mail for Mac OS X* transfer.
Navigate to your CD/DVD's or external HD's backup and hit "OK".
This should create a new "Imported" folder in Mail with all your old messages in it, that you can then rearrange as you wish, creating new mailboxes etc.

How do I restore a file to iTunes after I deleted it using Keep File?

I wanted to shorten the list of visible files in my laptop's iTunes Music folder without losing the actual music. So I selected Keep File. Now I want to bring some of that music back.
How do I restore a file to iTunes after I deleted it using Keep File?

Assuming the track file is still there, either use the Add To Library command under the File menu in iTunes and select the tracks you wish to add back into the iTunes library, or find the track files on your hard drive and drag them into the iTunes window.
Regards.

How do I restore all my photos? After upgrading my iPhone, all my photos were gone.

What photos?
Photos taken with the iphone should be imported to your computer regularly as with any digital camera, most especially before any update or restore. If you failed to do this, then they are likely gone. You can try restoring from backup.
Photos synced from your computer should still be on your computer an in you regular backup copy of your computer.

Can you do setup an unread mail folder that shows all unread mail regardless of what folder it really is in on the iPhone mail program somehow?
No.
If not, can this be submitted as an enhancement as it makes email use very cumbersome.
Yes. You can submit feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.

How can I backup my e-mail folders to an alternate location?

I would like to be able to make a copy of my e-mail folders. I could then use these folders to restore my e-mails in case of a system crash. They only thing I have been able to determine that they seem to be in a folder AppData under my login name. But the folder seems to be hidden or something because it does not show up. How can I access them and make a copy. Furthermore, how can I copy them back in case of a recovery?

There is an add-on to TB which allows import and export of emails in various formats to a separate storage medium (external disk, thumb drive, etc.).
The instructions on how to download and install it can be found at http://barryduggan.info/exportMail.php

Hi James,
sorry for my delay.
You mean that you found the folders in your Library/Mail/etc... ??
Strange that you have the messages there and not in your Mail program. It is clear a matter of a database corrupted. Inside Mail there is a command Rebuild. this should do the job but there is a risk of a demage to the present Mail. Of course you can explore each single file in the librari folder but you see they are down in a comples structure and you may not find everithing.
I am not so expert to give you a safe suggetion.
Before tryoing a rebuilt I would do as follows to be more safe about the possible result.
Create a new user Account in your Mac and copy your complete Mail folder into the Library of the new account.
Then try the rebuild option in the new user account and see what happens. You today mail system will not be affected and you can decide what to do.
To postpone a rebuilt can be an option but if you have a demaged database and you se you can live with the result of a rebuild in the "test" account I would rebuild also your.
For some reason before doing any action I wouyld repair the permission and also check the HD to be sure you do not have any write-read problem.
Let me know if it works.

How do I add an archive Mail folder

The help file on organizing mail tells me to go to the mailbox screen and hit Edit. There is no edit button on that screen. I want to add a folder to save or archive mail messages as a local file, not take up room on the server.

Tap the back arrow that saysMailboxes until there is no back arrow just a title saying Mailboxes. You should see two sections under it, one that says Inboxes and another one that says Accounts. Under the Accounts you should see a list of your mail accounts (if you have more than one), select the account you want to add the folder to and it will take you to the lists of folders for that account. Inbox, Drafts, Trash... At the top you will see the Edit button that will allow you to add a folder.
