Why does my inbox folder show I have 300 new messages but when I open the folder they are not visible?

I received over 600 emails this morning. This is not uncommon for me. When I went to my folder I could not see any of them. I rebooted my computer twice with no change. This has never happened before. I have my Junk mail set to sort a good portion of these. In a few minutes I was down to 300 emails in my in box. NOT visible and there were not in my junk box or trash A few minutes more and after signing up to leave this question ALL of the emails were gone except the confirmation for this sign up, which was now visible in the inbox file. Is there anyway to retrieve the emails? What happened. I can't afford to have this happen.
