Yes. An employer could certainly set things up to retrieve your deleted emails.
Most commonly, I would guess, by capturing them all before you even see them.

Thanks for your answer.
Can the employer retrieve my old emails once I have trashed them?

I'll give the same answer as Leo - Yes employers can track your activity. I sell what is know in the trade as 'content filtering software'. Its stops end users doing anything that is non business on company machines and company time. For web filtering the product works from a database of millions of categorized URL's. From this they can grant access to business related sites and stop non business related sites from being requested. It will actively block and report, on individual users, groups or domains activity and can be scheduled to send reports to heads of depts, HR etc. It even has a catagory for proxy avoidance for the hardened end user. Obviously rules and policy can be set to allow users to surf during their dinner if they require, as long as the sites visited do not cause offence to anyone, porn etc, to a colleague or compromise the integrity of the network, spyware and viruses etc.
