If I understand well..
you can restore single file, ther's no problem on this, the problem is
if the file is into your backup!!
If you receive the mail an tuesday and you delete it on thursday,
obviusly you can't find it in monday backup
You have to do a full or differential backup every weekend, and an
incremental every day of the week (the default WeeklyCycle work in
this way), so you can lose only the mail that you receive and delete
in the same day

I hope I was understandable
