[QUOTE="sunny, post: 1603189, member: 50203"] I have the only account on this computer and I am the only one with physical access to the computer. I tried rebuilding the Mailboxes but that didn't do anything. The only other possibility is that I received a phishing e-mail yesterday - supposedly from Amazon - said my account had been compromised. I read the e-mail a couple of times and decided it was in fact a phishing attempt (I just read what was displayed in the "preview" pane). I called Amazon and they said they had not sent me any such notice and it was definitely a phishing attempt. I deleted the e-mail (from the trash folder as well). This morning, there was a message from Sophos that it had found a malicious file and had quarantined it. I don't know if this file could have something to do with the missing mailboxes? I've tried to find a Sophos log to get the name of the malicious file but haven't been able to find anything - yet. I have backups of my mail on other drives, though they are probably six months old (from before I installed Mavericks). I can't find where Mavericks stores the mail files - I did an online search but couldn't find anything about where Mail files are stored in Mavericks. This may cement my decision to go back to Snow Leopard, which I already did on my MacBook Pro. I have a real issue with the deletion of the scroll arrows and the only way to get them back is to go back to Snow Leopard. What seems odd to me is that my "home" Inbox and all of the e-mails that were in that mailbox are still there - just the mailboxes I created for specific mail categories disappeared. [/QUOTE]
