My computer crashed last year and everything transferred except my mailboxes and emails. The emails are not iCloud.

Are you saying your using 3rd party mail account ie gmail/yahoo etc, if so sign back into said account to recover your emials.

Not what through server means.

So if my pc crashes and I get a new one, I can sign back into my gmail/yahoo/outlook account and get all of my emails back, since it reside on their server and not my hard drive.

Thanks for your reply. That doesn't work. I can't even find anything on my backup drive except for the early 2000's.

So you're using icloud mail and not a 3rd party like gmail or yahoo, is what you're saying?
