-E3 licenses was removed 3 months ago

Did you delete the user while he was still on hold? If so, the mailbox will be provisioned as Inactive mailbox and you can still recover data from it: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office365/securitycompliance/restore-an-inactive-mailbox

 

If there was no hold, the data is most likely unrecoverable.
