Unless personal folders are being used all e-mails are stored in the private information store, priv.edb. When you reinstall exchange you are overwriting the priv.edb, deleting all e-mails. You need to have backup software that can backup the information stores.

If you are using personal folders then you will have a .pst file on the workstations.
