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.
