In the last few days, all content of emails sent before 9th June has disappeared. I do not recall making any changes to settings etc. I entered Edit - Folder Properties and hit the repair button. This resulted in all the emails prior to 9th June being deleted entirely. Can anyone help in retrieving the emails and their contents?

Sounds like a corrupted folder.

If you manage to get them back, and if you were storing the old messages in the inbox, move them to another folder or archive them, then compact the folders.
