I shut down my computer on July 6th, went to bed, woke up on July 7th, opened my email to find all of my emails are gone. I had my daughter try and help and the app asked to set up an account. I (grandson) can find the profile and when I dig deeper in Mail I see 4 different inbox folders.

How do I get it to read the older inbox folders?

I have backed up the profile and deleted folder -3.net to try and get it to read the -2.net folder, it just recreates the -3.net folder and the emails only go back to 6/13/25. When I read the other .msf file in notepad I can see the archived emails dating back to 2020-2017. Even found the other folders that were under inbox.
