Lost mail in OS Catalina upgrade

I lost all my emails in Apple Mail doing a system upgrade to OS Catalina!
Several people have reported lost or blank e-mail messages after updating macOS to Catalina. I lost 50,000 messages. Here's my solution, which requires a back-up of messages made before the Catalina update.
Methods that did not work for me:
G'day,
Have a look at page 8 of this conversation. The last entry will confirm that there is a procedure to recover the e-mails and will point you to the procedure and some amplifying comments.
10.15.5 is out. Anyone have any idea if the dreaded email problem has been addressed? (I'm still too scared to leave Mojave).
Thanks, everyone.
I'm in the same boat. Waiting to hear if it works before making the plunge.
@canetree You had that issue with an earlier version of 10.15 or is it your first try of Catalina?
It was my first try. I held off all this time because I had read about the issues. I'm going to upgrade an iMac as well today. Waiting for the Time Machine backup to complete before proceeding...
And what happened when you upgraded your iMac after the TM backup?
This is encouraging. Can you explain to those of us who have not upgraded to Catalina yet exactly how we turn off the filter function for each account when we do? Many thanks!
Select the respective account in the sidebar, Menu View -> Disable Message Filter
hope it helps
Does "Menu View -> Disable Message Filter" exist in Mojave, which some of us still cling to, or is that filter function only in Catalina? Thanks....
Does anyone know if they have fixed this yet so we can join on the ios upgrade?
Excited to hear if all works well on OS XI Bug Sur tomorrow. Who dares first?
Ha! I've been thinking about it. Would be nice to have my pics flow from phone to mac easily (as it should anyway) but have been waiting for someone else to take the plunge!
And ? Anyone migrated from 10.14 to 11??
