Deleted saved folders

I have a Comcast Xfinity email account. Due to a problem with email, after Comcast fixed the problem, I found that folders I had added to permanently save emails are gone! My question is, can I restore Comcast email folders from a Time Machine backup?

iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014), OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)

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. Enter TimeMachine to see if you can find the e-mails.
