I compacted my folders in Thunderbird, now all my emails are gone. Where are they, and how can I retrieve them?

When Thunderbird asked if I wanted to compact all files, thinking this would just make better use of the space, I agreed. Now my emails have disappeared. I tried "Repair Folder" but nothing has returned. Any idea where I can find my emails?
