Exchange 2010 recover deleted email for corporate

Hello all,
I am sure I am grasping here but does anyone know how to recover a users deleted email in Exchange 2010, noting they also removed it from their deleted items basket in Outlook?
Corporate wants to search for a particular email the individual is believed to have removed, we are not using any litigation hold on any mailboxes. Recovering the data from backup is nearly impossible as well. The subject is unknown as well.
Please let me know if there is a way to do this.
Also, is there a way to archive the data without using the litigation hold so that users emails are stored even if they remove them from their outlook. Will archiving do this? Third party tools? Any ideas and details are welcome!

Thanks in advance

Unfortunately, if you don't archive those emails and can't recover from the backup then there's nothing you can do.

You should setup email archiving, there are quite a few archiving solutions, GFI mail archiver is what I'm using right now. It will do the job well.

Thank you this is great stuff for the future and addressing the Business on their needs vs. cost.
Third party or litigation hold are there only real options.
