Open a Finder window, click on your Home folder, click on View in the menubar, click on Show View Options/
A small panel will open, one of the options will be Show Library folder, check/ tick the box.
Thanks for the reply, but that is not an option in Catalina. A simple restart fixed the issue. All is well now. Again thanks.
Yes, but when clicking on it message is folder not found. Fixed with a restart. Should h as be tried that first but machine is a mail server. Thanks for the reply.
Yes it can, but anyway restarting should always be the first option before posting.
