"on my mac" These I dragged to the top of the sidebar but upon clicking either one, doesn't show any emails. How can I recover the original (2) addresses at the top of the sidebar which will reveal all received emails?
Trouble is, I don't know how to recover those (2) email addresses. Can anyone help me?

When an address in Apple Mail is at the top of the sidebar it means that account is online, either as an IMAP or POP account (don't worry about the terms, they just mean the mail starts on some provider's servers). Open Preferences in Mail and click on Accounts. Do your two missing accounts show up in the listing with either IMAP or POP underneath? If not, click the "+" sign at the bottom of the list and add them back in. If they do show up as such, make sure the "Enable this account" check box is checked. Report back, please.
