    Do the retention tags still exist?  If so, try deleting them and see what happens.

    you will get the database retention limit even if you dont have a policy.

    get-MailboxDatabase | fl name,DeletedItemRetention

    Check this value

    If you have no retention policies or tags that are causing the mail to be deleted, it is highly likely that the users are deleting the mail themselves.
