I put some emails from my icloud email trash into archive but they have completely disappeared. Is they any way i can retrieve them?

Hi, I had archived some emails dating back 18 months from my trash but some reason they have completely disappeared. I only archived one to start with to check it went to archive which it did. So i sent the lot i needed and they've all gone. Can i get these back any way?

I also archived emails from my inbox which i can find in my archive.

many thanks

Mails from trash are never copied and pasted in archive folder , archiving of mails is to create second copy of mails that are inbox Archive email in Mail on iCloud.com - Apple Support , suppose the inbox mails are deleted and emptied immediately they are erased from iCloud server permanently Delete email in Mail on iCloud.com - Apple Support

Note : that single mail you moved from trash to archive will not be found , it depends you had iCloud archive feature always turned as on then 18 months back mails will be found in them .
