Recovering E-mails after compacting

After compacting, nearly all my my e-mails that were stored in subfolders have disappeared. You indicated that most of these should be recoverable, but I'm unable to locate any process for doing so.

Some of these subfolders contained links to paid subscriptions, and of course - restoring those is pretty critical, both personally and professionally.

Please explain how to go about recovering all these missing e-mails. I cannot believe a regular maintenance procedure would result in such a significant data loss.

Many thanks and best regards!
