Outlook 2011 for Mac doesnt start after last office update (office 365 home premium). Error: An error occured while launching: an unknown error has occurred in Outlook.
I am running Mountain Lion and was prompted to download the Office 14.3.1 update. I downloaded/installed it successfully, and when I opened Outlook after the update I discovered that all emails in my Inbox and Folders that were sent or received in the past six days are absent. I searched everywhere including the deleted folder and could not find a trace of the emails. I rebuilt the database and that did not bring back the emails. Any suggestions?
Suddenly when I click on Outlook in the Dock (or in Safari) the startup window flashes then disappears.

Worked fine previously.

All the other Office for MAC apps work fine.

I tried to re-install latest Office update and get the message "Office 2011 14.2.3 Update can't be installed on this disk (or any other on my machine!). A version of the software required to install this update was not found on this (or any other!) volume."

Appreciate any suggestions.
