[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1849734, member: 131855"] I think this might be a kink in how Mail backups are handled by Time Machine when running under Catalina. When this thread first startedI tried the typical recovery procedure with no luck if I click on the entire mailbox that I want to recover and that didn't work. It's hard to truly test that since I didn't need to recover a mailbox at the time. It occurs to me now that I may not have tested the following: 1. Open Mail and create a new mailbox. The name isn't important ant because it's temporal. 2. With Mail still open launch Time Machine and select the backup that you want to use to recover ,messages from 3. Select the Mailbox to recover and then[B] select the messages too be recovered[/B]. 4. If the Recover button is available to click on now in Time Machine click Recover It's the last little bit in bold on step 3 that I may not have tested. I haven't fully tested this recently because I haven't had anything I needed to recover in Mail but I seem to vauguey recall doing it this way in the past. × [/QUOTE]
