SSL installation shouldn't cause such issues...something else should be in the background. Have you reached out to your hosting provider yet to have a look?

I agree with @andrew.n - installing an SSL does not make any changes to account data as the only changes made with that work relate to Apache and cPanel itself. You may want to check /var/log/maillog and see if anyone was accessing the mailbox around the time you noticed the issue.

If you have a backup of the account, that would be the easiest way to restore the mail data.
