[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1841723, member: 396914"] The email issues were solved with 10.15.3, supposedly. I don't know for sure because I never had any email issues with Catalina before 10.15.3, so I can't verify that statement personally. Just read it somewhere here. The Time Machine/Mail issue has been around since, I think, at least Mojave, maybe earlier. The only workaround I can think of is to use TM to restore the entire mail folder(s) to the previous, not trying it from inside Mail. If you do a bit of searching you can find the paths to where the various files are stored, usually in your Library folder. Your old folders MIGHT be there, or the may not. You'd have to do some digging to see. (But make a backup of what you have now, as digging around might also screw it all up even worse.) Can you explain the photos issue a bit more? Are you talking about within Photos, the application, or duplicated files on your system? I used a program I found in the Mac App store called Dupe File Finder to clean up one drive I had where I threw all my image files as a temp storage, then let the software find all the duplicates for me to delete to clean up the mess. Seemed to work well for me. One should always have a backup before allowing any system update. Always. Every time. Always. But you've learned that, right? [/QUOTE]
