Re: How to restore a personal mail folder from Time Machine backup?

Re: How to restore a personal mail folder from Time Machine backup?
Mail stores all its stuff in ~/Library/Mail (the folder Mail in the folder Library in your home directory under Users on your startup device). Have a good ferret around in there. Apple explicitly documents manipulation of local mailboxes in the Finder, so it cannot be so bad—albeit that finding the mailbox itself can be a bit tedious since it’s heavily nested. But you’ll find it, eventually. If your Time Machine backup is local, then begin your journey by opening the backups.backupdb folder on that backup volume, and descend into the computer folder, and then backup folder for a given snapshot date, and then your startup volume. -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.

Hi John, Thanks for this. It sounds complicated, though. Would an alternative be to simply restore my old Mac from the backup?

Re: How to restore a personal mail folder from Time Machine backup?
I think your best bet is using the time machine interface. You have to open time machine when you are in mail and use the slider to go back to a specific time in the past in which that folder was present. I have not done this in a long time, so someone else might have better, more specific directions. With the time machine interface, you have to use the window chooser menu to locate the time machine controls and then interact with the slider to go back in time. Take Care John D.
