    Hello Sandy,

    If you let me know what email client you are using, I can further assist with recovering the mail client data from your backup.

    Hi John,
    I have AOL, Gmail and Bellsouth email accounts all being viewed on my iMac I guess thru Apple, I think.
    Is this what you want to know?
    Thanks,
    Sandy Landers

    So you are using the Apple mail client with the envelope icon? or view your email in the Safari web browser?

    Hello Sandy,

    First, you will want to restore your mail folder from the backup to say a new folder on your desktop.

    Directions on restoring data with iDrive click here.

    How to import a mailbox into a secondary folder click here.

    Once you have your old data imported to a secondary mailbox folder, you can now drag and drop missing emails from the imported folder into your primary inbox.
