OS X El Capitan and iCloud items

When I updated to El Capitan, most of the email I had in the iCloud disappeared. How can I retrieve them?

Thanks.

Mac Pro (Mid 2010), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

You can also try reindexing this way. For El Capitan, try looking in V3.

I tried both of these suggestions, but I still have lost many emails that were in iCloud. There are three, and they have been there since I updated. There is an added glitch. My broadband server was also updating their email program at the same time that I upgraded. I will see if there is something there that might help.

Thanks for your ideas.
