If its beyond the retention period you can recover the items from the backup if you are using brick level backups (i.e. backing up the individual mailboxes).  Third alternative is to restore to the recovery group, take what you need and then delete the restore.

But hopefully the previous note worked.

I succesfully used this instructions to recover messages (as immediately as possible after deletion) that were deleted by my users using "shift+delete" (entire folders). Even the article is for Outlook 2003 I used also on Outlook 2007 PST files.

Here is the article: Recover deleted Outlook email by corrupting the PST file

I haven't tried, but will tomorrow.

Be carefull - you must try as soon as possible after "disaster", orherwise any other received mesage will lower your recovery chances...
Try email recovery software if the emails are permanently deleted - http://www.recoveryfix.com/repair-pst-file.html
