Look up the registersetting for DumpsterAlwaysOn and you are able to restore deleted items from ANY folder on the exchange mailbox. That is, when they have been deleted with SHFT+DEL.
If they moved the mail to a pst and then deleted the pst it’s a completely other story.

And as for the answer of SYMUSER: why create a new domain.
There is a recovery Storage Group in exchange 2003.
Also exmerge would work, if you want to recover the data from the restored mailboxes.

If you want I could go further into detail, but this here’s the basics to keep in mind.

I’m not aware of the setting you’re referring to about the user rights. That contradicts the retention setting. You’re just going to have to check by logging into the mailbox and then check the recover deleted items option in Outlook. Since you have no backups, I think this is your only option.
