I've had a world of problems with the High Sierra upgrade and last night I was forced to do a clean install. For some reason it's not recognising the mail data with all my folders etc.
All the information has been dragged across from Time Machine, but Mail just doesn't see it. I previously did a straight upgrade from Sierra to High Sierra, which worked for this part at least, so I'm scratching my head wondering why Mail doesn't see all the messages now. It's synching with the server fine and iCloud handled all the accounts automatically, but it won't show old archived messages.
I made a point of using the same name for my computer and user as before. Any ideas for how I can persuade Mail to see the data? I've tried removing the envelope files in the user library Mail folder to force renewal, which seems to refresh gmail, but has no effect on the other email addresses or show the archived folders with messages.
