Outlook for Office 365 for Mac Office for business Office 365 Small Business Outlook 2016 for Mac Office 2016 for Mac Outlook for Mac 2011 Outlook 2019 for Mac With a Microsoft Exchange account, all Outlook items are stored on the Exchange server and synchronized with Outlook at regular intervals. This allows you to access the items from another computer and to retrieve server-based copies of your items if your hard disk is damaged. For IMAP and POP accounts, items other than email messages are stored on your computer, not on the mail server. If you use multiple account types in Outlook, such as Exchange and IMAP, you might see folders labeled 'On My Computer' in the navigation pane. The items in these folders are saved only on your computer and are not synchronized with a mail server. The “On My Computer” label indicates that the items in that folder are accessible only through the Outlook application, not through the Finder on your computer. Although 'On My Computer' might suggest that you can find these files by searching your computer, the label only signifies that the items in the folder are not on a mail server.
If you don't know what type of account you have. On the Tools tab, click Accounts. In the left pane of the Accounts dialog box, click the account. The account type appears with the account description in the right pane. In the following illustration, the account is an IMAP account. If you have an IMAP account, messages from that account sync with the IMAP server.
In the mail view folder list, you will see a separate Inbox for each IMAP account. If you have one POP account, messages are downloaded to the On My Computer Inbox. If you have multiple POP accounts, all messages from those accounts are downloaded into the same On My Computer Inbox. Because POP accounts do not allow Outlook to sync with the mail server, messages from all POP accounts go into the On My Computer Inbox. A copy of each message is downloaded into Outlook. Note: To keep mail separate for different POP accounts, you can create rules in Outlook that automatically route your messages to folders based on the recipient address.
For more information about rules, see. If you have only Exchange account in Outlook, the On My Computer folders are hidden by default. This helps simplify the folder structure in the navigation pane.
It can also help keep you from accidentally saving an item in a folder that is not synchronized with the Exchange server. However, you can choose to show the On My Computer folders in the navigation pane. You may want to do this, for example, if you want to create a contact group. Showing the On My Computer folders is required to create a contact group because the group does not sync with the Exchange server. To find out what type of account you have. On the Tools menu, click Accounts.
In the left pane of the Accounts dialog box, click the account. The account type appears under the account description. In the following illustration, the account is a POP account. If you have an IMAP account, messages from that account sync with the IMAP server. In the mail view folder list, you will see a separate Inbox for each IMAP account.

Yesterday I was helping a neighbor try and get his Outlook contacts (Outlook for Mac 2011) onto his iPhone. In the process, he noticed some duplicate contacts so before we did the sync he was going through and deleting the dupes. Somehow he wound up deleting every single one of his contacts. Going to the 'Edit' menu he found 'Undo' was grayed out.

He is using Time Machine but I'm unsure where to locate the contact data to help him restore. I did find what appear to be the contacts in 'Documents Microsoft User Data Office 2011 Identities Main Identity Data Records Contacts 0T 0B 0M 0K' but everything is an.olk file (e.g. X0182.olk14Contact) and while I can choose to open the file using Outlook, it won't let me import this file type or drag and drop them into the Contacts Window pane.
So, how can I help him restore all his deleted contacts??? Thanks in advance for all your help! You will need to restore the entire Identity then export the contacts to import into his main Identity. All Time Machine Identities do not save the database file so you will have to rebuild first. RESTORE YOUR IDENTITY FROM A TIME MACHINE BACKUP: 1) Click the Time Machine icon in the Dock or open it from the Applications folder. 2) Use the arrows and the timeline along the right edge of your screen to browse through the Time Machine backups. When you find the Main Identity file, select it, and then click Restore.
Select to save on the Desktop. 3) Rename Main Identity on Desktop to 'Restored Main Identity'. 4) Drag 'Restored Main Identity' to the Office 2011 Identities folder.
/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office 2011 Identities/ 5) Using Database Utility select 'Restored Main Identity'. Set as default then select to rebuild. 6) You can export data from the rebuilt Identity as.olm file to merge with another Identity. File Export (select the default action to export as.olm file. Select items you want to recover.) 7) 'Switch Identity' Select Main Identity as default in Database Utility. 8) File Import select the.olm file into your main Identity.
You'll need to drag from imported folder to the local folders/calendars, contacts etc. See this link for help moving the imported data. Click to expand.Yes, you can delete the restored Identity after you are satisfied you have recovered your data. Michael73's suggestion to use SuperDuper is an excellent one, but think it's best when used with Time Machine. Cons: SuperDuper has run and overwritten the older data you need to restore.
Pros: SuperDuper backs up the database file so you don't have to rebuild. Identities restored from Time Machine often will fail to rebuild. If that happens it's very difficult to recover any data from Outlook. I suggest that you occasionally export as.olm file just Contacts and Calendar events in case you need to restore a single item.
