That should check & perform minor repairs. Then restart in
normal, without shift key held. Hard to say to what extent
there may be w/contributing factors. macOS recovery can
be useful to troubleshoot or repair via macOS Utilities.
Various tools & utilities can be accessed via Reinstall macOS.
Not sure if you could resolve issues by use NVRAM reset.
Good luck & happy trails!🌞🐝

I did try safe mode and then restarted in regular normal mode. Missing content in the Labels AKA Folders. Apple says this is a Gmail issue. spoked to 2 different Apple techs. I need the communication emails I saved in these labels and they are no where. I looked everywhere.Even under my bed..
That takes on another meaning. If it were 'homework' other plausible things may
have been at work; but Gmail? My gmail is used like web mail ~ via secure browser.

Only issues lately with my gmail have been 'slow and lagging'. Cause of yours? likely
is very different. ~ The core to Gmail via Apple Mail (if you use one to access other)
could involve Google Help. There may be hints in their Help.
Another way around could be to search the Mac. Not sure how, in this case.
My issue probably relates to Browser itself. -- Yours: lost in Apple Mail?!
Not sure if a login via browser to gmail could help recover something deleted from
Google server. They offer an archive feature; in gmail account, seldom have used it.
Sorry, I'm at a loss.. And was heading across town just now.
Take care & happy trails!🌻🐌
A suggestion to consider, may be to look into iCloud Drive to see if copies of missing
folders, documents, etc could be hiding there. ~ While possible, this may be a stretch..!
The path these could have taken, may take similar to this:
"..Check to see if: System Prefs> iCloud> iCloud Drive ~ got enabled somehow ~
and moved everything to iCloud Drive.."
Hopefully something, or another, will work. (+Not sure if any 'gmail archives' were saved.)
In any event, good luck!🌞
