Unless you've got specialist forensic tools, probably not. However, some items sometimes lurk in your Inbox, or in Deleted Items, after you think you've deleted them.
Go to Start > Search and run a search for *.pst (That assumes that you do mean Outlook and not Outlook Express. In OE, search for *.dbx).
That should locate your Inbox and Deleted Items files. For each of them, right-click and select 'Open with'. Choose Notepad. You can now view the full content of those files. Use Edit > Find to search for key words from the e-mail you're looking for.
As I've indicated, the chances of success are slim but I once retrieved a phone number and other details, from a deleted e-mail, by that technique.
