Apple Mail Client Inbox Deleted After Adding Account to Gmail

Hey everyone. So I've been using the apple mail client for my business email for a couple weeks now. I wanted to get emails in my gmail account as well, so I setup my business email in my personal gmail account. When setting up the incoming mail in gmail, it deleted my whole inbox in my apple mail client. My sent messages are still there, but not inbox.. Is there a way to get these back in my apple mail client?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.6

Not sure what is "whole inbox "...


You can add to Favorites, like "All Inboxes" if that is what you are missing


move your mouse to the right side to reveal the +




spin the carrot if necessary to see the list
