Deleted_users Dmg

I was talking to a friend over the phone and we deleted her mail account and re-created it. It fixed the problem but I thought it was the same as on a pc when it keeps all the mail already downloaded. All the mail is gone and they need it back. I've searched google and apparently it saves the data in a disk image (/Users/Deleted Users/userid.dmg).
I tried it on another system and yes I know about the message that comes up and says that all the mail will be deleted but they didn't tell me that on the phone.
I can't find any dmg files, would it be hidden or somewhere else on the machine?
Any help would be appreciated

However, if there is no backup, you can use any of the above D-I-Y approaches to regaining your files from a deleted Mac user account. /Users/USERNAME.dmg is where the local profile home folder is stored on the MAC. If the profile were deleted from the MAC it will be in /Users/Deleted Users/USERNAME.dmg. You must have root access on the local machine to mount that image file and access it's contents. Using DMG (Mac OS X Disk Image) Files Across Operating Systems. Native to the Mac OS X operating system, the DMG file format is often compared to the ISO file format because both formats can be used to create sector-by-sector copies of optical storage media. But despite the similarities they share, the DMG file extension was actually created with a different purpose in mind. Was it some weird thing with that specific computer, or is there something special about user 501? The computer seems to be running fine without a user 501. The user certainly had a home directory, so that wasn't the problem. It even managed to make a disk image backup of the home directory and put it into the 'Deleted Users' folder.
