Email folders Hi. I just bought a new MacBook. Although I've signed into my rocket mail (yahoo) email account, my folders and messages aren't showing. Anyone know a solution? I would be very thankful.

"on my Mac" email folders I updated the OS last week and suddenly my MacBook stopped recognising my charger! Long story short, we had to erase and restore the software. When I restored my files from Time Machine however, the "on my Mac" email folders were no longer in mail! Both my gmail accounts and my iCloud accounts are up and working with their folders but the folders I was storing emails in locally have gone. Any ideas how I can get them back? Thanks

Which email app do you use on your MacBook Air? I ask because if you are using the Apple Mail app then the setup is very straight forward and your Gmail account will be added as an IMAP account as it should. If you are using a third party email app then ensure that your Gmail account is setup as an IMAP account.
