I inadvertently deleted all archived and trash emails from Mail on my iMac. Is there any way to restore them?

Claiming ignorance, I deleted all archived emails and trashed emails on Mail(Gmail) on my iMac. So all thousands of those emails and their folders are gone. I still see them on my iPhone Mail, and when I log into my Gmail account on Google, they are all still there. Not sure what I have done nor what I might possibly do to restore those emails. Any helpful suggestions?

Update:
I forgot that I did actually make a change by going to Settings, then to Internet Accounts, and then to Google where I slid the button by Mail to off and then on. Could this have brought back my deleted archived emails?

You basically did what I suggested.
