Mail: "On My Mac" folders disappeared

I accidentally clicked on something this AM when half asleep and POOF! -- all my "On My Mac" mail folders (personally created categories) disappeared ... How to retrieve them?

Kindly explain in language your grandmother would understand -- I am one!

Grateful for your help.

Where is this "On My Mac" located? I using a MacBook Air with OS Sonoma 14.0 r and I'm suddenly missing view of all my mail "folders" I can still see numbers of undread email or how many are in the trash, I can actually hover my mouse where I know folders were and It will display the emails in that folder in the view pane. It appears to be in a gray color usually regarded as not active.
