Is it possible to retrieve a deleted account wholesale (so emails are still there and tagged)?

My university has migrated email platforms three times, and in an effort to speech up my updating I deleted my 'exchange' account, not realizing it would delete with it my original account, which had in it tens of thousands of tagged emails (which allowed me to go back in and reference with ease).

Is it possible to retrieve the 'exchange' account in whole in order to get back my color coded messages?
