Many times, we need to import our backups. This usually happens when an organisation decides to start using other mail clients in addition to the existing ones or switch to a new one. A new client may be offering better user experience or offering better features or something else. At such times, you need to import your old backups. At other times, your  mailbox may get deleted due to some unexpected cause or may be hacked(rarely). You might have deleted some mails some time back and now you need to restore that specific thread. In such cases, you will have to restore the mails. But for that there must be an existing backup.

How to restore Apple mail?

Whether you need to restore some mails or the entire mailbox, this cannot be done without a backup. A backup must be there either on the local drive or on Cloud or on any external media. When you need to import the mails, then the backup has to be in a format compatible with the mail client to which you will restore this backup. In this case, if backup is not compatible, your first step will be to convert the backup files to a compatible format. This will need a conversion tool or a manual method.
