I allowed some updates recently, and for whatever reason, now all of my accounts listed in Internet Accounts are not "talking" to Mail—everything is missing from there, including folders, etc. I tried to restore the
com.apple.mail.plist.lockfile
from Time Machine and restart, but it's still not working.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks.

The mailbox list is divided into categories with headings such as On My Mac. When you hover the cursor over one of those headings (except for Mailboxes), you should see the word Show or Hide on the right. Click Show. The Mailboxes category can't be hidden.
In each category, the mailboxes are arranged in groups, such as Inbox. To the left of each group is a small disclosure triangle. If the triangle points to the right, click it so that it points down.
Note also that you may have to scroll the mailbox list up or down to see all of it.
I meant all accounts had disappeared. They showed up in Internet accounts, but when I would open mail, it would prompt me to use the setup wizard to add an account.
I restored from a previous working backup. It seems that there is still a disconnect between Internet accounts and Mail, though, because one of my accounts listed in IA is not showing up in Mail. Not sure of the problem.
Thanks,
Heather
So Mail is working now?
Working to an extent. Not all accounts listed in Internet accounts (and previously added to Mail) are working like they did before.
So there are mail accounts in the preference pane that are not listed at all in the Accounts tab of the Mail preferences window? What kind of accounts are these—IMAP, POP, Exchange?
The one currently not showing in Mail (at all) is an Exchange account.
Back up all data. Make a note of the settings, then delete the account in the Internet Accounts preference pane. Add it in Mail with the same settings.
