Try doing the following things.
Look in the deleted items in Outlook. If it isn't there try going to Tools Recover Deleted items. Finally take a look at this article.

Hi,
By default, Exchange keeps all deleted messages for 7 days, you can recover the data using Outlook, please read the following article:

If it doesnt work, please let me know how your Outlook connect to mail server? Pop3, imap4 or mapi(Exchange mode)? Have you ever back up Exchange database recently?
Thanks,

Hi,
I understand you dont leave a copy on the server while using pop3, but the function mentioned before works for your situation. Please setup a new Outlook profile and connect server via mapi(Exchange mode). You can find the latest 7 days mails there. For the mails longer than 7 days, as you never did a backup, there is no way to get them back.
Regarding how to backup database, please refer to the following articles:
