    Recovering Outlook 365 Email folders and Contacts after update


    A Windows 10 update apparently wiped out my Outlook 365 Email folders and also my current Contacts. The email folders are not in the most current pst or ost files on the hard drive. Is there a specific place that Outlook or Windows 10 stores them or did the update just wipe them out? Where are the Contacts stored? If I revert the system to a pre-update restore point, will that bring them all back?

    :)

    Recover old IMAP emails & folders from Outlook 365

    I have an issue with a local install of Outlook 365 (Windows 10), which was connected to 2x IMAP email accounts.

    TL;DR Question: Is there any way of recovering old IMAP files & folders from Outlook 365?

    The background:
    The IMAP email provider has gone bust, so no send/receive functions are working. However the folder structure in Outlook has been used by someone to organise other emails that were working.

    Since finding & setting up a new email provider, and altering the IMAP connection password so that it now works, all the old organised structures have gone - clearly because the new IMAP provider doesn't have the old structure stored on there. I need to recover these, ideally.

    Might a system restore to a point prior to the password change bring back the emails?

    Try the step listed here, it's lower down saying that they aren't in your deleted folder. It is hidden, if not showing click the light bulb and type in recover and it will show you the hidden item

    Sync other Outlook contact folders via Exchange to smartphone?

    As you have been running a truncated 2010 software and moved to what is now 2016. Your contacts will not match over from your original list. I suggest doing an import of all contacts through your email system of contacts that you have on your system. To do so you need to go into your contact list that is in your old folder and do an import. This issue is faced by many when moving from older software to office 365.
    First you need to export all of your contacts into a .CSV file (comma seperated value)
    afterward well.... here is a link, it works as I have done it numerous times before.
