Try a finder search:

This is especially useful if you’re unable to find an e-mail within the Outlook program. Open up the file in outlook after changing the file extension and you should be able to access all of the data that was found in it.

 Try recovery software:

Recovery software is great for recovering lost files, lost contacts and lost emails.
