On My Mac mailboxes disappeared

Overnight, the whole list of mailboxes and emails I keep under On My Mac have disappeared. How do I get them back?

Greetings ronemuzzell,

 

It sounds like your mailboxes have disappeared. We know how important having a working Mail app is for you. You’re in the right place to find a resolution.

 

In the mail app, please make sure the Mailbox List is visible, you can press Shift-Command-M. Once it's visible, on the left side, navigate to On My Mac and click the plus next to Show. Please let us know if it resolves your issue.

"Show the sidebar: Choose View > Show Mailbox List or click Mailboxes in the Favorites bar."

Use the sidebar or Favorites bar in Mail on Mac


 

Farewell!
