There's really nothing you can do, transactions not being reversible is a double edged sword Sad
Would be a good idea to run a AV to check for keyloggers

As the e-mail to the OP states the withdrawel was even confirmed from his E-Mail i guess it's a combination of somehow getting the e-mail addresses of btc-e users and then getting into their e-mail and btc-e accounts through phishing or hacking the users home computer. Especially when dealing with cryptocurrencies it is important to handle computers and the internet with care. Don't open every E-Mail, keep our Antivirus up to date, don't go to every website that pops up and do not download hack/cheat programms for online games (those are to my knowledge one of the easiest ways to spread trojans and keyloggers and even get paid for it). Generally take the time to educate ourself and know what programs services should and should not be running on your computer.

And most importantly: do not misuse the account of an exchange as your regular wallet. Seeing the huge amounts of money involved letting it sit there with the echange basically is begging to get hacked sooner or later.

And that's why you shouldn't store your coins on exchanges.

You must check your computer for viruses or malware. This is most probably how they did it. Sucks, but you cant get coins back Sad

Sometimes both the BTC-E account and the email had the same password. In other cases, keyloggers were used. In most of the cases, 2FA with gmail was not enabled. So can't blame BTC-E.

Bitcoin transactions are irreversible, so no, you cannot get your coins back.
