Mail and Time Machine

How do I get to Mail from Time Machine to restore 1 e-mail that was deleted? When I turn on Time Machine all I see is finder. I use to be able to have Mail open and Time Machine would leave Mail open and I could search back to a date. And yes, i've been in my backup disc, what a joke looking for that needle.

You are on the right track. You have to rummage through the V9 folder and maybe find it. Rummaging means opening each individual message (.emix) by entering ™ just looking the .emix files are sequential via date but the date of the file does not always correlate to the email date. One you fid it just click on Resote at botto of enter ™.


Note that I can't find recent, like before updating to Monterey, emails in mt ™. Others have said that ™ no longer backs up emails messages.

Also, I can only find a few email currenting in the Mal app in V9 of my startup disk.


Good luck.
