After installing the Office: Mac 2011 when I open Outlook and choose my main identify it does not recognize the identity.  When I tried to rebuild my main identity, it tells me database cannot be rebuilt. This is the first time outlook is installed on my computer. HELP! I’m at a loss on what to do.

I have three or four very legitamate email addresses with hotmail. after attempting to create aliases, i ca no longer sign in with my MAIN hotmail address,  in fact, it tells me that two of my accounts dont even exist anymore. i want them back! help me PLEASE i want my emaill addresses back :(

It tells me, everywhere I try to sign in, that the account doesnt exist. YET, when the only email alias which DOES allow me to sign in, lets me in, i can send myself email using EVERY one of my hotmail addresses, successfully, every time! how can it be possible that it tells me none of these address accounts exist, when they ALL work once i sign in with the ONLY one email address that DOES allow me to sign in?

I suspect something has gone seriously wrong with my alias options, and or my "main" address option or something, I would HOPE that the powers that be at MSoft can fix it for me. I have used this main email address for at least 10 years! I NEED it back, and i WANT to sign in with it!

PLEASE HELP me! please!

A friend of mine wanted to use an Exchange account additionally to his normal profile (POP3 email, calendar etc.) in Outlook 2011.

He said he just added and configured the profile. When he re-openend Outlook 2011 the old profile and all data was lost.

I searched the harddisk, but there's only the "fresh" profile data files of the Main Identity in the Documents/Microsoft User Data folder.

What did happen here? Is there a chance he can recover the data?

My Macbook Air crashed and I am trying to import my backed up Outlook files in Time Machine to my Mac desktop.  I found the "Main Identity" in Time Machine but it isn't clear to me how I then copy/import those files into Outlook on my Mac.  I tried reading a few of the previous postings but it wasn't 100% clear...would anyone mind re-explaining it?  Thanks!
My Outlook contents completely disappeared from one day to the next, as if I had not set up an account. Looking at the identities folder (thanks to one of your threads here) I have four identities, three of which were created within three days last month - how that happened I don't know as I had never been in this folder before. One of these is Main Identity. The fourth one was created more than a year ago, though it is named Main Identity [backed up 27 June 2012]. How do I reinstate the right identity (and contents) and get rid of the others safely? 
My Outlook 2011 creates a backup when I start it up and switches my identity from Main to a backup.  Rebuilding the identity seems to resolve the issue temporarily but it always returns.  I have also tried reinstalling to no effect.

I am currently using an exchange account and I have another user's exchange inbox coming in also.

Feel free to ask questions! 
I have been having HUGE issues with the "Main Identity" and Database. In all this mess I seemed to have lost all my archived email messages that I have save "On my Mac".

I have been saving all my emails on Time Machine, I just do not know where they are and how I can get them back to my new "Main Identity"

Thx Much for any help you can provide.
