Restoring emails from Time Machine

I have lost all my emails in two of my accounts - everything before January 2018.

I know I can restore them from Time Machine and how to do it.

I get as far as the 'restore' or 'cancel' part of TM. My question is, once I click on 'restore' will it give me an option after copying the emails to 'keep both'? It's a long time since I've actually had to use TM but I need the old emails but also the emails from January too so that I've got the lot.

Thanks

(Not the email folders in Library, but the actual email.
