Where are emails stored when using MacMail on a Mac Mini? I am getting ready to downgrade to an earlier OS and I want to be sure my emails are preserved.

Thanks. Everett

Mac mini, macOS 10.15

Where are "On My Mac" emails to be found? I've reinstalled Catalina on my main Mac and reloaded everything from iCloud - all's good. But I had some old emails archived not in iCloud, but somewhere 'On My Mac'. I'd like to import these back into Mail, but don't know where to find them... I've a complete safety copy of my Home Folder on an external drive. And a TimeMachine backup. Can anybody help? Thanks.

Email gone. Rebuild discarded everything. MacBook Air Years of Archived email gone. I clicked rebuild and 100,000 just vanished. I have seen some posts to Go to finder and type in Users/username/Library/Mail/POP but once I get to Mail there is nothing there. Are the emails archived on my computer somewhere. I just backed up my computer with Time Machine. Will they be there?

Where are my Apple Mail emails stored on my iMac ? I have been told that it is difficult to locate the folder/files relating to Apple Mail on my iMac. It is proving that way. One tip I had was to press Command, Shift and dot to expose any hidden files. That sure seems to uncover quite a few. Who hid them - I didn't ? Can someone please tell me how to drill down to my Mail folders/files starting with opening Macintosh HD. Many Thanks.
