It sounds like the client was in sync with the mail server, so deleting one deletes the other. People have their own client setup in various ways depending upon how you want access. Do you want access to all emails on every machine, do you want web access, do you only use only desktop. Does your brother have working regular backups in place, as those might have your local mail box. If the emails are still in the deleted folder, depending on the client your using, create a local folder or mailbox and copy move into that new folder.
