I just did a full restore from Time Machine using a date from a few days ago and after my iMac rebooted I attempted to open my Outlook which is part of the Office for Mac 2011 program. I am now getting the following message:
"Your Office database index is missing and needs to be rebuilt. This is usually caused by restoring an identity with Time Machine". When I click on "rebuild" in the window that appears the Microsoft Database Utility and that program finishes running I now have a message that says, "your database could not be rebuilt. [-18000]"
I finally was forced to delete my old identity and establish a new one just to open Outlook but all my email, email folders, contacts and calendar information from my old identity are now missing. How do I retrieve all of my contacts, emails and folders that are in Outlook for Mac and were backed up in Time Machine? Isn't there a way to find this information from my Time Machine backups and import them into Outlook?
