Oh man, losing local calendars and contacts like that sucks, especially without a backup.
What probably happened: Outlook for Mac might have reset or corrupted your friend’s profile and wiped those custom local folders. Since they’re not synced anywhere, and missing from the database, they’re likely gone.
Without a backup, chances are low to get them back, but you could try a Mac file recovery app to dig for deleted Outlook files.
For next time, tell your friend to back up regularly or use cloud sync to keep stuff safe.
