Mailbox disappeared from Mail, though in library after restore

A Huge important mailbox in Mail disappeared from my Mac Mail. I recovered it from Time Machine, but it still doesn't appear, although I can access the messages in the finder. I need to access email I've saved there every day, and it takes forever to find what I need when you have to search through all the folders and subfolders named "8" or other numbers. Help!

iMac 21.5″, OS X 10.11
