Not sure if this will help you recover old files but will tell you how to backup for the future.

Don't think the Compact option creates backups. In the full app, all it does it shrink the size of the files to actually delete the e-mails.

Can't help you but do yourself a favour and either ditch OE or copy the folders off to another device every day to make sure it's backed up.
