Emails missing in subfolder gmail

After I did a software update to Catalina 10.5.2, in my gmail subfolder, all my saved emails are missing. Please advise how do I retrieve the emails.


Thanks,

Tom

Do you have the emails saved on your Gmail account? aka if you check gmail.com


You might be able to get them there.


If the emails were only saved locally on your mac, you migth be out of luck, unless you have a backup like time machine from before the data loss happned

You may have a chance then.


One way is to restore the whole system to a time before the data loss...


But it should be possible to restore just a mailbox, but it is to complicated for me to help you with that in this format.
