Deleting old emails, received “unknown internal error” message, now most email is gone – oh no oh no oh no…

I fear I'm in terrible trouble...

I'm using Outlook 2011 14.2.4 on my Mac 10.7.5.

I was deleting emails from the trash and started receiving an "unknown internal error has occurred".

I quit all applications and restarted my computer.

Now all of my 2013 emails are gone as well as many of my 2012 emails.

Oh my gosh, help please.  I am in huge trouble if I can't get those emails back.

I have Time Machine and I think I restored my latest Main Identity (it's the first time I've ever done a restore) :( and yet it still didn't restore my email to what it was earlier today, it's still what it was when I opened it after the restart.

Please help, I don't know what to do and I have to have some of those emails for defense in court against my ex.

Thank you so much!
