But an email wouldn't be held in backups, because it wouldn't be on the
system long enough. It might however be in the snapshots in they were using
a netapp to store the mail. But if it were, then you'd have to move quite
fast to get onto them and get it retrieved from the snapshots.

dynamically generated pages. They'll cache images and the like, but not the
content of the pages.
