Press Command-V to paste (and thereby copy) the preferences file to this folder. Go to your user account’s Library folder, and then to the same Containers > Data > Library > Preferences folder within it. Locate the file called “,” and then select it and press Command-C to copy a reference to it. Go back to the same Library folder on your Yosemite Drive, and then into the Preferences folder. Restoring the preference file can be done with the following steps: On the other hand, the old preferences file will tell Mail that these mailboxes exists. For instance, if your loss was from deleting some of your mailboxes (or the entire account, and all of its mailboxes), then your current preference settings will not point to these lost mailboxes, so even if you restore the data, Mail will not look for it. Restoring this file will ensure Mail will find all of the messages you recovered, and not overlook any mailboxes. With this step complete, your last step is to restore your old Mail preferences file, which contains the information about the accounts and mailboxes you had configured when the backup of your Mail folder was created. For Mail to properly read from this folder, once it is copied you will need to strip off these ACLs from it and all items contained in it, which can be done by opening the Terminal utility (in the Applications > Utilities folder) and running the following command (copy and paste it to the Terminal to run it): These permissions suggest the owner (you) ought to have full read and write access to the folder however, hidden ACL entries may take precedence and deny access. Press Shift-Option-Command-V to paste the previously copied folder exactly as-is, and preserve all permissions. Go to the Library folder in your active user account, and rename the folder called Mail to something like “Mail-old.” You can also right-click the folder and archive (compress) it as a zip file. Select your Mail folder and press Command-C to copy a reference to it. On the Yosemite Drive, navgate to the User Library folder where the Mail folder is. 
Either way though, the process is as follows and may involve more steps than you have tried already - specifically, you may have omitted to strip the ACL entries with chmod:
You may want to try migrating it to the V2 folder and let mail make the transition from V2 to V3.
Manually migrating your mail can be tricky.
