Accidentally deleted an email account from Apple Mail

I accidentally deleted an entire email account! I didn't receive any warning before I chose to delete it.

Is there some way to recover the account with all the emails that were stored locally on my hard drive?


I do have time machine but I haven't backed it up for a month or so.


My OS is 10.14.6


Thank you!

MacBook Pro

Just re-add the account. If it was an IMAP or Exchange account, everything should sync back down from the server.
