Restore mail in Time Machine

I accidently blew away all the mail in my wife's account. It was stored on the computer, evidently, I thought that IMAP stored it on the server.


How do I efficiently use Time Machine to locate the missing mail from her Time Machine backup. Which folder is it stored in?

MacBook Pro 15", OS X 10.11

Go to Finder menu > Go > Go to folder and copy & paste this file path:

~/Library/Mail/V5

(Or use whatever V folder has the highest number.)

Then launch Time Machine interface and click on Restore.
