Thunderbird ask to compress our emails to save space. Now I cannot access those old emails. Is there a way to still access them?

Compacting, not compressing, removes messages from non-trash folders that were marked for deletion. Those messages will be in your trash folder as long as you let them stay there.

Or have you seen evidence that messages not marked for deletion have been removed?
