Hello underQualifried​,
The Purview eDiscovery feature can help you resolve this issue.
You must have the eDiscovery Manager or Compliance Administrator role to access the eDisovery tool. Once the required permissions are assigned, go to the Purview portal open eDiscovery and create a new case.
After creating the case, go to the Search tab to create a new search. Add the data sources by selecting the user's UPN and choosing Mailbox only as the location, then save and close.
Next, use the condition builder to filter by subject line and run query. Once the search completes, export the results. This will provide you with the user's email details.
