[QUOTE="IslandOwl, post: 1192936, member: 125216"] I HATE Safari - but that is the topic of another post. For right now, I will just rewrite the long reply that just was lost. (On Firefox I could have used the back button and still had my post! I am switching back! Safari seems to play nicer with Evernote but losing work is not worth it!) [URL="http://www.backblaze.com"]Backblaze[/URL] - a phenomenal backup program - is not the issue nor the question. [URL="http://www.backblaze.com"]Backblaze[/URL] backs up everything just like it looks like on my computer. So no problem to go to User/Library/Mail and retrieve the folder "POP-emailaddress@pop.secureserver.net". The question is what I then do with the data to get mail to see it. I have tried the following things. 1. Put the POP folder into the User/Library/Mail. Nope. Mail does not see it singe the account was officially deleted from Mail. 2. Renamed Inbox.mbox to Inbox.imapmbox and put it in the gmail folder replacing the one that was in there. Nope. Mail does not "see" the messages. 3. Put the original Inbox.imapmbox back into the gmail account and pasted a copy of all the messages in there. Nope. Mail does not "see" the messages. 4. The messages are all fine. I can open them from the finder window and they open as an email - but I cannot figure out how to get them to be listed anywhere in the Mail program. 5. Set up a new Mailbox on my Mac. Put the messages in it. Nope. Mail does not "see" the messages. 6. Set up a new Mailbox in my gmail account. Put the messages in it. Nope. Mail does not "see" the messages. There is probably something entirely obvious that I am missing - but missing it I am. TIA for a solution, if anyone can help me figure one out. [/QUOTE]
