Are there any email logs that show the details for past emails SENT and
RECEIVED?

For legal reasons, we need to review past activity of a former employee but
their Outlook is fairly clean and they did not keep any old content. Is it
possible to review any logs that would give us email content?

If not, are there any software that can store this type of activity?

Thanks,
Jasper

Yes - if you had Message Tracking turned on.
Otherwise, not so much.

Does Message Tracking allow me to actually read the messages? How do turn
it on in Exchange 2007?

Thanks,
Jasper

No, you cannot read the messages. To read them you either need to
break open the person's mailbox, open their dumpster and read them (if
they've deleted their deleted items) or restore AD and Exchange to the
lab environment and then do the same again (if you've deleted their
account).
