If your partition was /dev/hda3, use:

  grep --binary-files=text -b 'Some string you remember from your mailbox' 
/dev/hda3 

This /should/ find your mailbox on the disk if the data still exists.
Then you'll need to play games with dd (skip=foo count=bar) to extract
the nearby blocks from the partition onto a file on another partition.
I've done this once when someone trashed my disk.

No substitute for backing up, though.

BACKUP REGULARLY.

BACKUP REGULARLY.

BACKUP REGULARLY.
