Email folders only "On my Mac" missing!

Hi, I had to do a complete restore on my iMac at the Apple shop and I thought I had backed everything up with Time Machine and iCloud. Email folders that were on my Mac only I cannot get back and these folders had important email saved. Anyone know how I can restore all the email folders I set up?

iMac 21.5", macOS 10.14

"on my Mac" email folders I updated the OS last week and suddenly my MacBook stopped recognising my charger! Long story short, we had to erase and restore the software. When I restored my files from Time Machine however, the "on my Mac" email folders were no longer in mail! Both my gmail accounts and my iCloud accounts are up and working with their folders but the folders I was storing emails in locally have gone. Any ideas how I can get them back? Thanks
