I have a mystery (and, fwiw, files backed-up to Crash Plan).
I'm running Mac OS 10.6.8 and Mail 4.6.
I recently moved my web hosting account and all has seemed OK. I did have a problem initially where my computer's DNS had the IP of the former mail server cached. I've been able to address that, and it's no longer an issue.
When I look at my Inboxes (two accounts using my own personal domain), there is no email in either box (as of the other day, before the move, there was about 100 in one and 400 in another). Today, all I had was email from Feb. 1 (since the switch).
My email accounts are both IMAP accounts.
QUESTIONS
1. Assuming the email was deleted from Mail, how could I retrieve it from the back-up files I have (on Crash Plan)? My thought is that I could download the back-up files and import the mailboxes into Mail, hopefully retrieving the mail. Crash Plan does progressive back-ups, so I can go back to Jan 30 or thereabouts.
2. Assuming the email is still on my Mac, where would I look? (It doesn't appear to be in the trash of Mail or the Mac OS.)
Thanks!
