I had Outlook 2011 activated.  Out of nowhere it said that the identity needed to be rebuilt.  I did this and when I started it up again all my emails contacts where gone.

I look in the identities folders and the latest one I see if from 2013.  I can't find anything recent.  I tried to open one of the older identities and it comes up in gray not letting me access it.

Does anyone know how can I recover my files?

Thanks.
