Maybe you had another option enabled that told it to delete  
messages that were older by a certain number of days?

But I just used Compact on my email folder and everything went  
well.  I did not see any extra switches or conditions to  
configure.

Maybe you encountered a known bug in that version?

I can imagine the diappointment.

I am sure you were happy about that!
