Bad Signature - Both Roundcube and Squirrelmail webmail cannot search for anything + cannot open many emails because there are more than 200, 000 emails in my Inbox

[Turritopsis Dohrnii Teo En Ming]

The emails appeared in my Gmail inbox. Then sometime later the emails
disappeared mysteriously. Not sure who deleted my emails from my Gmail
email account.
