Mac Mail folder question lost emails

I did something stupid. I have a folder in my mail titled Expenses. I wanted to make a back up of this folder. I created a new folder on my desktop and then I dragged in each email that was in the folder within my mail. I thought I was just making a copy of it and the original was staying in the folder. However, I have now discovered that in the new folder each email is blank, the title shows, but you click and it is blank. Even worse is that is what is happening within the original folder within the mail. It still shows all of the emails listed by name, but when you open them they are blank. What do I do to reverse this so that I can open the emails within the original folder in my mail. I have to get these emails back somehow. Thanks.
 
Do you backup using TimeMachine?
Find the original mail folder. Start Time machine, and go back to before you erased the files.
Otherwise use a back up made some other way.

you do make backups, right?
