What is Time Machine. Time Machine is a backup utility built into macOS that allows you to create a backup of all your data on external storage that is updated every hour. If at any time you lose a file or something catastrophic happens to your Mac, you can, “Go back in time,” to retrieve the data. Question: Q: Why does Time Machine crash my Mac AND the hard disk during backup attempt? I'm looking for a Time Machine survival guide. I am using a 1 TB hard disk (connected via USB) to back up my 512 GB MacBook Pro (mid-2014 Retina 15' running the most up-to-date version of Sierra).
The purpose of this script is to assist the examiner to visualize the paths of relevant target files within a Mac OS X Time Machine volume.
Before running the script the examiner must first blue-check the files in the volume that are of interest. It is advisable to tag those files first so as to avoid losing the selection by inadvertently switching views.
When the script runs it will write the selected files into a nominated logical evidence file (LEF) using the same paths as would be observed were the Time Machine volume to be viewed under Mac OS X. The examiner has the option of filtering the output, so, for instance, it's possible to select all of the pictures within the Time Machine volume but only write those pictures to the LEF is they contain the string 'Users' somewhere in their path.
Only one Time Machine volume can be processed at a time. If the examiner selects files from more than one volume the script will raise an error. Every file of interest must be selected even if it is a hard-linked duplicate: the script won't find duplicates automatically - it would take too long.
It's important to bear in mind that re-creating the structure of a Time Machine backup can be time consuming and take a substantial amount of disk-space. Not only that, but because many files will exist in more than one backup, the resultant LEF will usually contain far more files than were actually selected by the examiner. This notwithstanding, the use of hash-values within the internal LEF structure will ensure that only one copy of a duplicate file is actually stored.

So I've had a look and found:
Time Machine App For Mac
Drop box app wont open on mac. homelibrarymailV3
Apple Time Machine Download Free
In here there are 3 folders..1 is called mail data, one contains outbox.mbox and the other contains .mbox files for all my folders, and one called 'Deleted Messages.mbox' (there isn't one called Trash.mbox, so I'm hoping this is the one).
In 'deleted messages.mbox', drilling down a couple of layers, I get a folder with sub folders 1 through 9, and each one has the subfolders 'attachments' and 'messages'.
In 'messages' are lots of .emlx files, double clicking on them opens an email.

So I am thinking this is the location I need. Looks like I can search for subject as well, so I'll go and see what I can find.
