When I open the “My Passport for MAC"; there is a a folder titled “Backups.backupdb”. When I open the folder there is a folder called "Paulevinemacpro”. When I open this folder there are numerous folder with date labels. When I open the one of these folders, there is folder called “MAC HD”. When I open this folder there are several folders titled; “Applications”, “Incompatible software”, “Library”, “System"; "User Guides and Information". How can I retriev past e-mails?

Rather than using the Finder to peruse Time Machine files you should use Time Machine directly. Open Mail to the folder from which you want to restore email and then pull down the Time Machine icon to Enter Time Machine. Select a date and time and which emails you want to restore and then click on Restore.

Thanks for the response, However I use the MyPassport to transport data/files from one computer to another computer several thousand miles away. This way, I thought I would not have to have to move computers from location to another.
