I accidentally clicked on something this AM when half asleep and POOF! -- all my "On My Mac" mail folders (personally created categories) disappeared ... How to retrieve them?
Kindly explain in language your grandmother would understand -- I am one!
Grateful for your help.

Hello catfootfog,
You most likely moved those folders to a different location by dragging them. The question, of course, will be where ? First look at your Desktop. Next, dive into each folder in the Mail app to see if they hide there.
Once you find them, drag them back to their correct location.
Hover the cursor towards right in front of " On my Mac " section , click on show all folders will reappear .
Where is this "On My Mac" located? I using a MacBook Air with OS Sonoma 14.0 r and I'm suddenly missing view of all my mail "folders" I can still see numbers of undread email or how many are in the trash, I can actually hover my mouse where I know folders were and It will display the emails in that folder in the view pane. It appears to be in a gray color usually regarded as not active.
Thank you tygb! All fixed!
My mail folders were emptied recently. Where can I find my charity donations receipts? I have checked all other folders and they are also emptied.
