I'm trying to find a way to get the On My Mac folders in my Mac Mail program to be loaded into the Mailbox pane. I can transfer emails to folders within On My Mac, but then I can't access them.
Any idea on this??
Thanks
MacBook Pro, macOS High Sierra (10.13.6)
Boot into Safe Mode, Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode, and try from there. Any change? Reboot normally and check again.
Have you tried quitting mail then opening it back?

Read the article, seemed like it should work to rebuild the mailboxes. Unfortunately, when it rebuilt I lost all connections to all of my emails, gmail, verizon and work. I did keep the files on my desktop so I was able to replace them and get my connections back. You'd think Apple would make this easier especially since the On My Mac shows up as a place to put email!
Thanks for your reply but still not a solution.
What do you mean by "not access them"? Could you post a screenshot of the issue?
Sure, here is the mailbox pane and you'll note On My Mac is not listed.
I know it's there because I can select a message and copy it to a folder within it.

That's where I expected it to be but if you look at my jpg above, you'll see the only thing there is "Today".
That's why I trying to put it there again. I know it's in my folder because I can copy email to folders inside it, but I can't get to the folders.
Thanks Old Toad.
Update: I have found it in my smart Mailboxes near the bottom of the other smart mailboxes. If there was a solution I would have to say that the referenced article
"See this article: https://grayjetmedia.com/2016/04/01/recovering-lost-on-my-mac-local-mailboxes-af ter-os-x-10-11-el-capitan-upgrade/"
Did work after all since it wasn't there before I followed the procedure. I'm going to say that fixed my problem.
Thanks all for the help!
The On My Mac section is at the end of the Smart Mailbox section:
Did you look at the end of the Smart Mailbox section if it is opened?
Mailbox pane missing On My Mac!
