what happened to my gmail emails?

So I cleaned up some emails, and was careful to select only the ones I wanted deleted, and now almost all but 7 emails are gone. How did this even happen?

Mac Pro, macOS 11.1

Hey there!


Please check if the mails are available at mail.google.com. If the mails are available there then it's probably a filter which you might have applied. Review the below article to find out.


If emails appear to be missing in Mail on Mac - https://support.apple.com/guide/mail/mlhlp1224/mac


Change which emails are shown - https://support.apple.com/guide/mail/mlhl7fa3a90d/14.0/mac/11.0


If the mails are missing from Gmail website as well, you'll be required to contact Gmail to check if they can retrieve it.
