Outlook crashed today and I was asked to rebuild my database. I already had a couple of old backup identities from when this happened a year ago, but I mistakenly went to rebuild using one of those without first backing up the identity I had been using.

So now I am faced with a version of my database that is a year old. Is there any way to get the data back? Will it be stored in another identity? Or have I ruined everything???

When I search for emails that were in the identity, the title of the emails show up, but I get an error to say "Outlook cannot open the file because it is not associated with the default identity".

I would so appreciate any help.
