Outlook sync question – keep existing local contacts and calender

Hello Community.

I have a big problem with outlook for mac and the company exchange. My Mac crashed and i got a new Identity file generated - happens sometimes but it was never a problem. After i checked the new identy my outlook was completly empty! i have my old mails (not the ones from the last days) and i have NO appointments for 2012 - i have about 20 appointments next week and i dont know where to go. Thats a big problem. Now i manually copied a old backup of my identy file but when i go online my whole outlook synchronieses and everything is gone away again.

I have no Contacts and no Calender settings. What can i do to keep the old stuff? When i make a OLM File outlook crashes during the export. Is there any option to say "keep existing calender/contacts with next sync" and dont erase everything which is local? Please help!

Thanks!
Michael
