Windows Mail lost local folders

[JayfromUpstate]

I lost all my local folders that held and organized all my important emails.
I tried System Restore but that doesn't seem to have worked. How can I get
them back?

If Local Folders is still displayed, try clicking on the triangle beside it.

Technically, robertmiles answered my question except that I realize that it is not the folders that I need restored, it is the files in them. So, please, help with that. Thanks robertmiles, for helping me be more precise with my question bu the problem is still there.

I just remembered something else to try: For each of the folders, click
on the folder, then View, then Current View, then Show All Messages.
If you don't, already read messages are sometimes hidden.
