With Mail open I click on the folder name I want to restore. Once inside TM, I see the Mail interface and TM denotes the name of the file I selected. I select a time period earlier today before the file deletion. I scroll down the list of Mail folders to the one I deleted. It is a large folder with many sub-folders, so I select the first sub-folder which only contains eight emails. After clicking Restore, all the TM folders retract to the real Mail screen. Here is where a problem occurs as I get variable results including 1) nothing happens, 2) a small dialog box appears stating Restoring files for "folder name" and nothing happens, and 3) the emails restored in the Mail column to the right of the Mailbox column. It took numerous attempts to finally receive restored emails.
Next, I went back to TM and repeated the above process for the next folder. Again, the "Restoring" dialog box flashed down from the top and quickly rose back up again and nothing happened. The file only has ten messages in it. I waited for a time to be sure TM had recovered all messages in the folder before clicking Restore. I waited several minutes for the messages to appear in Mail to no avail. I also tried selecting the sub-folder in Mail before going to TM, but it made no difference.
It worked once, so I believe it should work again, but evidently I am missing something. Any thoughts?
