I set up a few Smart Mailboxes just to try them out ... and was so
pleased with their quick indexing/filtering/whatever-you-call-it that I
set up a bunch more.
I've been enjoying them for quite a while ... until suddenly today
they're all empty. Not just that nothing shows -- they *say* "(0
messages)".
I tried
Mailbox > Get New Mail
Mailbox > Synchronize "Gmail" (gmail is IMAP)
Mailbox > Rebuild
None of them worked.
(Actually, there are a *tiny* number of mailboxes which still have
*some* messages. But even those don't have all the messages they used
to have.)

Can you see the missing messages on the Gmail web interface?
That would prove that they haven't been deleted from the server.
Oh! I forgot to mention that I can even see them all in All Mail in
(Mac) Mail! Just can no longer see them in the individual smart
mailboxes I created to sort them out.
So, yes, I can see them in the web interface. :^)
So ... not only are they all in gmail ... they are even all in Mac Mail.
But the Smart Mailboxes are no longer working.
BTW, is "All Mail" a built-in Mac Mail folder, or is it Mac Mail's
dowloading of gmail's All Mail folder? (In Thunderbird it's the latter.
But I don't know whether Mac Mail's relationship to gmail is the same
as TB's relationship to gmail.)

That is a blessing.

I'm sorry, I don't really have the expertise to advise you further;
at this stage I'd be looking for advice myself. I might try deleting
the mail accounts from Mail then recreating them but I'm not confident
that it would work. I really wouldn't want you to risk losing all your
past mail. Good luck!
