Shift DEL doesn't stop you from recovering items. You just need to enable the Dumpster Always on feature which allows DIR to work from any folder, not just the Deleted Items.
Otherwise your only option is to use a journal mailbox and a third party tool to manage the mailbox. While a backup application will work for older items, if the email comes in and the user immediately deletes it, the item will not be picked up by the backup.
