Hello, my hotmail account was blocked & needed to delete mails to empty space but that simultaneously deleted hotmail downloaded e.mails to my apple mail. I have time machine back up to an external hard disc but I did not see where are mails in this drive. Anyone please advise how to restore bulk missing e.mails from time machine back up, thank you?
To restore mailbox:
Open Finder
Click “GO” in top menu bar then click option key
Click on Library
Open mail folder
Open V9 or V10 (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
