Repairing my Inbox folder deleted every email prior to the one that happened to be selected at the time.

How can I recover those emails?

It appears your mail files were corrupted. Those missing messages were already gone before you tried to repair the Inbox.

You'll need to restore them from a recent backup. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Thunderbird_:_FAQs_:_Backing_Up_and_Restoring

Corruption is often caused by anti-virus software messing with Thunderbird mail files. It is therefore recommended to create an exception for the Thunderbird profile folder, so that the real-time scanner won't attempt to scan the profile with your mail.
