Disappearing Draft Folder Still not sure how to recover the Draft mail folder on my iMac. Entered info in a draft I'm adding to periodically, and the last time I did so, then went to add another blurb? Draft folder is NOT on the sidebar. How do you recover it???

Disappearing e-mail files after renaming them? For Mac users: If you renamed an e-mail file folder and your e-mails in that folder disappeared, open mac mail, put the original name back on the folder, click on that folder with the now original name, then click on mailbox at the top of your screen, scroll down and click "rebuild" at the bottom of the drop down. All the e-mails should show up again for that folder. I just recovered more than 700 e-mails in two dozen folders. I sure hope it works for you.

Did you have any drafts in progress? I believe that while the draft folder can be set to be always visible, it's default is to only be visible if there is an unsent draft.

Have you looked to see if it accidentally got dragged into another folder ?
