I am assuming that I am SOL here but just checking in case there is anything I have missed.
I use EM Client - have a local folder as well as my inbox as I have moved it around a few times. I was trying to consolidate my local folders into my inbox as I was out of town most of October dealing with my father’s death. Only mentioning this as I can’t believe I made this mistake.
In copying over folders - I didn’t realize I had run out of disk space on my web server which I have since fixed. So only half of a folder - with all my personal family emails including my fathers’ - did not copy over fully. Emails from my husband and children which I would like to have kept. Hard lesson learned.
I then must have removed it from EM Client local folder. I have tried everything - backups from my web server but since they didn’t transfer fully. Looking in my deleted folders. Trying to find .eml backups.
Suggest if you have been making regular eM Client dated backup.zip files either automatically via Settings or manually via the menu, then try restoring a recent dated backup “when you know those Local Folder messages where there” via “Menu / File / Restore”.
Any new emails since the backup restore point will then update when eM Client recconects.
If you don’t have any recent eM Client dated backup.zip files “but you have your OS user profile eM Client hidden database folder recently backed up”, then “close eM Client and delete everything in your current eM Client hidden database folder” and replace it with your recent backed up hidden database folder contents and then reopen eM Client and all your Local Folder emails should be there.
Any new emails since the backed up database will update when eM Client recconects / syncs.

If you have saved exported .eml message files to your hard-disk see the following pages how to search for files Windows or Macintosh.
