[QUOTE="IslandOwl, post: 1192766, member: 125216"] I deleted one of my email accounts going into Mail. I did not think it through to realize it would remove all of the emails I had sent from that account and received to that account. I back up my computer every few days so have all the mail in backups. The account was a POP through my domain at GoDaddy. I removed the POP and instead set up a forward to go through an IMAP Gmail account. I have added the IMAP account back into Mail. So the question is how can I restore the emails from the old account back into Mail from my backup? Mail will not let me set the POP account back up, of course, because the account really does not exist. Not sure what to do. If I have to completely reset up the POP email on my domain to rectify this, I could do that but I would rather leave the email as a forward through Gmail. TIA! [/QUOTE]
