10.8.1 - Major Issue - All Mail in "Trash" Gone after Update

ML 10.8 started off for me (and many others) with a few bugs and a major battery issue and now with the 10.8.1 update comes the biggest nail in the coffin with all of my email in the "Trash" folder completely gone.

I need some help from some experts here.

99% of the mail in my "Trash" is gone. I only have email dating back to August 22, 2012 (which is the day I upgraded from 10.8 -> 10.8.1)

I'm using 3 POP accounts and 1 IMAP account.

All accounts and their appropriate "Trash" folders had hundreds of deleted items and the IMAP account had thousands.

I noticed this today while doing a search for somthing in the "Trash"

I'm not sure what to do here, cannot contact AppleCare at the moment as they are closed.

Help...

MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.7.2), 256SSD, 4GB, Core i7

Maybe a client came online that had a "delete messages from Trash after..." set to some value.

It seems rather foolhardy to trash lots of things and then complain if the trash gets emptied. Why not archive them to a folder, instead of deleting them?
