I have a MacBook Pro with Catalina 10.15.7. ( hard disk wiped & Catalina reinstalled a week ago). then Time machine backup did not have any Mail folders.
Now Time machine still does not backup Mail.
Furthermore I can't find stored mail data on my hard drive -I have looked in Users/Patrick/Library/Mail/V3 but there are no folders - although shutting down & rebooting & opening Mail DOES have the latest mails.
Help I'm at a loss!

Typically you can find your Mail folders from the Finder>Go>Go to Folder copy &paste:
~/Library/Mail/

Where does mail store data(mail boxes/messages)?
