I've got both Mojave and Catalina volumes on my iMac. I mainly use Catalina now but when I open Mail I don't see any of the mail folders that I saved On My Mac. If I switch startup discs to Mojave they are there. Is there a way that I can easily import them or drag them into the Catalina Mail?
iMac 27″, macOS 10.15
Good day, cadplan45,
macOS Catalina introduced a new file system on a Mac. The entire structure of the macOS system software and how your data is stored changed. If you're not seeing the "On My Mac" folder it's likely because the locations for saving those emails are different between the two macOS versions.

Try this:
They won't be able to sync or mirror each other, but it should be a quick and easy way to get your "On My Mac" emails to your most macOS Catalina preference.
We hope this helps.

On Mojave you can export the mailboxes to a thumb drive then once back into Catalina import them back into your mail.
Thanks that's great!
Thanks I might give it a try as I have a portable hard drive handy
