This puzzle is now really solved. Tonight I noticed a line of text immediately below the Deleted Folder as follows: Lost a message? When you recover deleted messages, we bring back as many as we can. Learn more. I don't save many emails and I wasn't looking for a way to get any deleted emails back. After I found that line, I clicked on it and I could have read 200+ deleted emails. 9 pages to be exact. Just thought you'd like to know and I suppose there are those times when a deleted email might be nice to have back under your control.
