Bonjour:

Mail used to have folders in the left hand column and would store "All Messages" etc. locally on my computer for access. These folders just disappeared today haha. Anyone know how to get them back? Merci!

Restore from Time Machine? (Assuming you've made backups.)

Also - In this month's (April 2010) issue of Macworld magazine, Rob Griffiths column on Mac OS X Hints has a piece on missing or lost mail messages that might offer some help to you.

Regards.

Did you accidentally close that column?? Go to Mail's "View" menu and select "Show Mailboxes"
