Recover emails from previous HD

This the process to find a mail folder. Modify the search as required:

To restore mailbox:

Open Finder

Click “GO” in top menu bar then click option key

Open mail folder

Open V9 (or similar) folder

Then find the folders labeled with cryptic titles (at this point you could open TM if you want to go back in time)

Look down through those folders to find a mailbox (note: there may be more than one with same label).

If it contains email you want you can copy the entire folder to your desktop

Go back into mail and import that folder from your desktop

I had a fire that destroyed my office including my 2014 iMac

While cleaning up I found the old SSD that I was using as a HD even though it was burnt I was able to get almost everything from it except the emails stored on it.

I understand they might be in a hidden folder.

Have tried to import to new iMac but I can't seem to find them only older ones up to 2011

Any advise would be appreciated

Thanks

No sure exactly what to say other than the fact for Ventura is the V10 folder

found from Finder>Go>Got to Folder

copy & paste:

~/Library/Mail/

Building on previous posting

From link below pertaining to macOS 10.15 Catalina released in 2019 - the V folder was V7

So, going back to 2011, one would need to work backwards to reach the V folder pertaining to the Version of macOS / OSX in question
