Lost messages when moving exchange folders around on Apple Mail on Mac

Since moving exchange folders around on my Mac Mail, some of the folders I relocated under other folders are now empty. I still have the messages if I log into Outlook.com. Do you know how I can get those messages back?

Mac Mail copying instead of moving Mac Mail seems to be copying messages instead of moving messages when I drag them into folders. How do I fix this?

Email attachments and contents vanish when I save email to "on my mac", Microsoft Exchanger server, only header remains Emails arrive at Microsoft Exchange server. I retrieve them using Mac Mail (on MacBook Pro, or iPhone). In the past I could simply drag them into the folders I created under "On My Mac" for easy recovery. Recently that stopped working in that when moving emails which include and attachment, the email appears in my folder, but the attachment and text have vanished. Please Help Me with this. I have tried 'rebuilding' some of the folders, but it doesn't seem to help and I am afraid of loosing what I have. I have a back up of the computer (now approaching 50 days old) from before this problem started, but I'm not sure if this will help me or just lose me the activity in the intervening period.

Mail - entire inbox of emails has gone missing Hi - I have 2 Gmail accounts (IMAP) set up in Mail on my iMac, which have been working fine for a couple of years. This morning one of the inboxes is completely empty (should have been around 100 emails) and all the Mailboxes(50) I created for that account are empty too. It looks as if all the emails are now in the Archive folder (dating back to 2011). I've checked the Rules - there's nothing in there apart from for Apple News. Recovered Messages has about 10 random emails in but nothing from this particular Gmail account. This is an email I use for my business and the folders are for all of my client's projects so the thought of losing this is kind of scary. I could rebuild or restore from Time Machine back up, however, I'm not sure if this will restore all the emails in the correct folders or not? Any help would be really appreciated - thanks!
