In order to find the Deletion settings on your server begin
by launching the Microsoft Exchange System Manager. Drill
down to the Mailbox Store, (not the server icon). Right
click, properties, now select the Limits tab. Half way
down are the: Deletion settings. Keep deleted items for
(days), is the next dialog box. See bottom of the diagram
opposite.
Each Mailbox store has its own retention settings. Your
main decision is, 'How many days should we hold deleted
mail on the server?' I would have thought that 7 days
would be about right. Any longer and the mail will consume
significant disk space on the server. Any shorter and the
users will feel frustrated because they cannot recover mail
that they deleted only a few days ago.

Hi,
Yes, you can recover deleted mails from exchange server. But for that you have check your Deletion settings from Exchange System Manager. First goto Administrative Groups->First Adm. Group->Servers->'your server name'->First Storage Group->Mailbox store...
Now Right click on it and go to Properties->Limits 'tab'-> Deletion Settings, and make sure that your deleted mails are not longer that the number of days specified there.
Now to recover your mails, If you are using Outlook go to Tools->Recover Deleted Items, and you will be prompted a dialog box, using this box you can retrieve your desired mails.
If you are using Outlook Web Access, Go to Deleted Items, in the tool bar you will find a button Recover Deleted Items, very next to Empty Delete Items. Here also you will find a window, using it you can recover your mails.
Hope this information will help you.

If mails are deleted unfortunately we have the option to retrieve it back from deleted folder items. But if we delete mails by help of shift+ctrl+del then it is not possible to recover; but we have a situation to do the same by taking a full mailbox backup but its a cumbersome steps and moreover in industry companies' policy do not encourage to do so.
