Lost all my custom mail folders after reinstalling Mavericks.
After reinstalling OSX Mavericks I lost all my custom mail folders. How do I recover them?
iMac (20-inch Early 2009), OS X Mavericks (10.9.5), Mail window has suddenly changed.

Do you have a backup you could restore from?
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library/Mail. Restore that folder.
Thanks for replying. However, "Library" is grayed out on my backup drive, so I can't restore the Mailboxes folder. I fear they are lost forever.
I kept plugging away and found a way to get where you indicated. Between your suggestion and other forums, I was able to find my missing mailboxes. Thanks again.
You are welcome.
