Guys my Outlook crashed while compacting files and inbox messages are missing now. How do I get them back? I looked for inbox.dbx files and found only couple which didn't have my messages. What can I do?

That program is not free.
No it is not! If the data is that important to you, it is a cheap investment to try and recover it. If you aren't willing to spend what they are charging to try and get your data and you are sure you don't have the DBX or BAK files, then you need to accept it is lost. - this advice is free :-\
Last resort, if you're getting your email from an ISP (pop mail), then maybe you can check with them to see if they have have mail retention (holding copies of your mail for some period of time). More than likely not, but it won't hurt to check.
This also was no charge ;)
