I created a number of 'sub' mailboxes under an existing blue mailbox, loaded with essential mails.
I attempted to rename the parent blue mailbox using the same name but all capped.
I (too) quickly hit the enter (confirm) key, missed a clearly essential message of some kind, and got 2 folders/mailboxes, same name 1 all-capped and 1 mixed-case. Selected and looked at each one in turn, the new all-capped mailbox appeared to have all the mails and sub-folders/mailboxes in place. I went to delete the mixed-case (original) mailbox, confirmed and now I have LOST somehow all the sub-folders/mailboxes and their contents that WERE showing under the all-capped mailbox title (which still has messages just no sub folder/mailboxes).
I have tried rebuild on every folder, I have turned off the Empty-Trashes options on all mailboxes under Preferences (CYA) and have searched for some time now, on the disk (under Library) for the missing folders by the 1 remembered folder name, and on the web, Mac/Apple Support and wider...no joy on mailbox/folder undelete/recovery etc.
It must be said that I am a relative Mac newbie, though many years' experience in the Windows world. Operating under OS X 10.4 -- and begging for help in locating the invisible folders.
Thanks for any and all assistance.
