What do you mean by: a) an outside user and b) routinely removed (how)?

I think that I removed these email once or twice a week. There are about 10 of them... ( a 1 month periiod or so)

If they're not in your trash folder then they've gone. If you have any backups then a restore of the server and extract the mail from there would be the only way. I'm assuming tthiis iis the OSS version?

No this is NE.

Is this just your account/do you know all the people that this person communicated with/accounts you need to restore?

If you use -ca & -pre you can create a new account to hold the restore while not affecting your currently working account.

CLI zmrestore Network Edition only - Zimbra :: Wiki
CLI zmrestore restoreToTime Network Edition only - Zimbra :: Wiki

zmrestore -s server.domain.com -a user@domain.com --restoreToTime 20080203164705 -lb full-2008xxxxxx -ca -pre restored_

Then connect to that account in an IMAP client (set password on the restored account as necessary) search for and copy the said mails, or open up the web interface/view mail on the account and fwd them to your main account.
