Q: lost all emails

On a device you might try... Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe!

But I found nothing, which made me even more concerned about what could have casued such total wipe out! I will probably not be using iCloud any further, I lost all me email history and I was expecting that at lest Apple has a some sort of backup system to recover them.

Hmm.. your sig indicates you use OSX 10.6.8, if so, then you wouldn't have a time machine backup of the lost emails, as you need 10.7.2 or higher to access icloud. But if your sig is outdated and you do have a time machine backup that include icloud emails, that's another thing you might try.
