Where have my filed mails gone since Mavericks?

Since updating to Mavericks, all **** has broken lose and so much has been screwed up all over the place.

But, one of the biggest and most importan is all my various MAILBOXES that I created to save old emails in, have decided to do strange things.

The mails are still in there, but about 80% of them have no content. Just the brief on the left, but when you click it, the email is totally empty, not even a header, a date, nothing. I have vital emails with important information (no suggestions of backing up, please, I did this, Time Machine won't fix it either.).

I have a brand new iMac, 6 months old slim design.

Any ideas?

Could you send the directory is list view? I need to see the size and the dates of the files. Also could you lower the res on your screen as I cannot make out the names of the files.

Jim, in list view it says size, but it just has – – and not size written so it is pointless me doing another screen grab like that. As for screen res, just click the picture above and it opens bigger.

In the finder menu, select view and in the dropdown menu select Show view options. make sure that you have a finder window open. You can see sizes by selecting Calcuate all sizes near the bottom of the show view options. I usually have this turned off as it does slow your system when you open up a finder window and it calculates the sizes. Again, give it time to do its thing.

Can you send/receive mail?

Jim, I've just put them all back using TimeMachine and all is fine now.

Also, just now I noticed a software update for Mail in Mavericks so Apple obviously know there are issues.

Thansk for your help.
