Hi

I am hoping someone can assist with this. My hard-drive on my iMac died on the weekend, I have a new one installed. I have all my files backed up on an WD Essential for Mac external drive, last done about 3 weeks ago. All the documents etc are there, I downloaded them last night and it says the last backup was 3 weeks ago. However when I retrieve them from the drive and copy to the new hard drive the Main Identity version appears to be one from December 2012? Why would the Main Identity file and all its contents (contacts, mail etc) not be a backup of the version of my mail from about 3 weeks ago like everything else?

Otherwise I have lost about 8 months of mail which is a problem.

Appreciate any thoughts. I hope this is the correct forum.
