If the account was simply deactivated then yes, the email messages are still there. However, if the account and mailbox were deleted then there is no way to get the messages back. The messages still exist as files on the storage array, but the pointer is gone and there is no quick or reliable way to recover them because of how the back-end is designed and the sheer number of files that would have to be searched. Sucks, but in order to scale there had to be compromises in the design.
