I've been a user of Apple's mail starting in 2008, with .Mac, then me.com, and now iCloud. I would like to know if it's possible to restore Sent emails from the very beginning... I looked in my Sent folder and see I've only saved emails back to 2012. However, I've been using Time Machine since the beginning as well, and am wondering if I can somehow restore those emails from that. I did manually enter the Time Machine's folder and found a backup dating back to '08/'09 and went to Library>Mail> and found Sent Messages.imapmbox. I then dragged that file to my desktop. Is there a way to view the messages within it?
Got a tip for us?
