### What issue or error are you experiencing?

A few of my sites have/had the error: “Missing mailpit vXXXX…” , upon opening the site.  
Then when the site opens and you try and open Mailpit nothing happens.

Some were missing Mailpit 1.24.1 - I followed steps provided in another thread and it fixed the issue.  
But some of my sites are missing Mailpit 1.12. and I tried following the same steps of going to lightning-services folder, shutting down Local, deleting the 1.12 folder, and then reopening Local but it doesn’t seem to recreate the 1.12. folder.

### System Details

- **Local Version:** 9.2.8+6882

- **Operating System (OS) and OS version: 15.6.1**

Hey @sambase!

Does the error show up on newly created sites? If not, you might want to try reimporting the sites that are showing it.

The steps would look like this:

- Locate the site files on your machine, and save a copy of them to your desktop. If you click `Go to Site Folder` under your site name it should take you right to where they are located.
- Once you have those copied, completely delete the site from Local
- Restart Local/your machine
- Reimport the site back into Local. You can refer here on how to [Restore from only Local site files](https://localwp.com/help-docs/getting-started/how-to-import-a-wordpress-site-into-local/#restore-local-site-from-site-files)
