Check for an archive, you might have OE set to auto archive. Also that's what backups are for.

OE stores mail in a DBX file that represents each folder. A DBX is like a database. Each e-mail is stored as a record in the database, so there arenm't separate files. By compacting you made it even harder to potentially recover. If the mails are not archived and not backed up, they are probably gone.
