Permanently deleted e-mails Outlook 2010

Hi

I have been asked by a user to recover some emails which have been permanently deleted from a mailbox between December / January 2014 / 2015.

The retention policy is as show in the attached file

The client is using Outlook 2010 and Exchange 2010

Restoring from backup aside for now. Can I retrieve these e-mails which only were received by one user Firstname.Lastname@Domain.com and they are only two e-mails.  

Restoring from Back Up aside .... Can I still retrieve these e-mails?

Any help will be very highly appreciated.

Thanks

Those are Archive policy tags...  did the user delete the item or was it deleted by one of those policies?
If the policy did it, which tags where they using? Month, week, year, 5 year...

What is your databases deleted item retention policy?

There is not enough info for us to answer this question unfortunately.

@Guy -  I do understand that, no need to point out the obvious. I was still going to mention this because based on the scenario described this may be the only option if the items have been permanently deleted for the time frame that  has been provided.

the other action would be to use the transport dumpster to restore these items (if the mailbox dumpster is set to something much higher than the defaults).

Will.
