When openning OE a couple months ago it started (automatically) to "Compress
files." I stopped it a few seconds later to find that the folders that it had
comressed were now empty. When I click on Properties and copy the file
location, Search cannot find that location.

Any ideas?

And that is your problem - you should NEVER stop the compression process.
Look in your Recycle bin for copies of your mail folders prior to compress.
