I inadvertently deleted emails on my iPhone from an AOL account.  This also deleted them in Outlook on my Mac.  I am trying to restore the missing emails.  I have found a post from dianeoforegon 12/14/2011 and am following the instructions.  In Time Machine I found the main identity (Documents>Microsoft User Data>Office 2011 Identities>Main Identity) from two days ago (day before I deleted the emails/folders).  In following the steps, #6 says "if it's a specific message folder, you can drag the folder to the desktop as .mbox file."  However, on my screen, the folders are identified as ...>Data Records>Folders>0T>0B>0M>_K  

  1. How do I know where the missing folder are in this listing?
  2. What about specific missing emails?  If I restore the folder doesn't that duplicate other emails still present?
  3. Once I restore to Outlook what about emails I have received in the meantime?  Does the restore deleted other emails I have received in the interim because two days ago these current emails have not been received.  I want them all to still be in Outlook.  In other words, will all the other emails I have received since two days ago still be in their proper place in Outlook once all the other folder/emails have been restored?

Thanks for your clarification and assistance
