How to recover deleted POP emails
I have a Time Machine backup of the emails from a POP account I just carelessly deleted while changing to an IMAP account. I've seen answers in this forum to variations on this issue, but not my specific one. I'm running OS X 10.9.5 on a MacBook Air. I've figured out where the files are on the external hard drive backup (using the trick to see the hidden Library). Do I need to temporarily create a dummy POP account? Can I recreate the old account and somehow import the emails back in?
Can someone help me?
Thanks.
