Some calendar and contact folder are missing on outlook mac
On my friend notebook in outlook (outloook 365 on mac, classic) suddenly some items disappeared from local machine folders.
These items were custom named calendras, contacts, tasks etc., not the default ones!
Of course I tried the usual troubleshoot steps: outlook restart, machine restart, turn on/off local machine folders in preferences. None of this helped.
Finally I checked the "Outlook.sqllite" database, looking for these items in the folders table: they are not found in the sqllite database.
At first it seems that outlook deleted all items under local machine folder (without any user interaction), and recreated the default empty local items for contact, calendar and tasks. Years of data are lost :(
Question: is there any suggestion what could happend? Is there any tip from the community how to recover these items?
("Of course" my friend has no time machine backup.)
