I lost all my smart mailboxes from Mail

I have a time machine, but I don't know where to retrieve them. I don't know exactly where they are stored in sys.

Hello dragos2968,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities!


We understand you'd like to retrieve mailboxes from a Time Machine backup. We'd like to assist.


First, have you verified the Smart Mailboxes option isn't hidden? You can do this by clicking Shift-Command-M.


Rebuilding your mailbox can also help with getting back Smart Mailboxes: Rebuild mailboxes in Mail on Mac - Apple Support


There isn't a specific way to see the settings for the Smart Mailboxes in Time Machine. You can restore from a backup with these steps: Restore items backed up with Time Machine on Mac - Apple Support


Have a nice day.
