I am using Mac Mail to access email on AOL Mail. I recently logged in to AOL Mail directly on the web and in a momentary lapse of judgment deleted the contents of the Sent folder. The next time I used Mac Mail, I found that the Sent folder there is empty as well. Not remembering everything that was in it, I would like to restore the contents from my Time Machine backup. So two questions:
1. There are websites that describe how to do this, some more confusing than others, so if someone has a really easy way please refer me to it.
2. On the Mac, to access the folder where emails are stored one clicks on the Finder Go menu item while holding down the Option key, then goes to Library then Mail folder and somewhere among those inscrutably labeled folders in a Sent folder. But when I enter Time Machine, it's showing a window with the Desktop and everything outside the window is greyed out so how do I get from there to the backed up Sent folder?
Thanks.
