Email emptied from the trash folder is not recoverable!
With the ample storage that UNI Gmail provides, it is recommended that you generally never empty your Trash.  Trash folder messages are automatically deleted after 30 days so this will provide you a 30 day window of time to recover a message that was accidentally deleted. Once a message is deleted from Trash, it is gone forever.
