First of all: Do you have a back-up? notmuch itself does not delete mails, as Carl pointed out. In addition to notmuch you mentioned notmuch-mutt. Did you run that manually or using some mutt config? It creates a maildir of symlinks with search results. In order to do so, it deletes the maildir ... Usually this sits in a cache dir, though.
