Recovering Mail account from iCloud account

My Mail account has lost all its data overnight? I need to recover all my Mail account files to my computer but can't find a way?

Start with this...


Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at startup), does the problem occur in Safe Mode? Could take 10 minutes.


Safe mode attempts to repair Disks & clears lots of caches & loads safe Drivers, & prevents loading of 3rd party extensions, so if Safe Mode works try again in regular boot.


In Safari login to your WebMail at icloud.com, is all your Mail there?

All my email messages were sent from my domain host to my Mac Mail app.

Also my Mac mail messages were displayed in the same place (ie within "Mail" on my Mac

Since last Apple update this has disappeared only to be found on my Cloud account.


Yes my mail is a an IMAP account.

I no longer have POP email accounts


All I want to be able to do is read all my mail messages from the one place ie "Mail" on my desktop as I have always done.

Not having to access my Cloud account all the time.


Hope I have made myself clear??
