Unable to see exchange online restored data on Outlook

This article applies to:

  • OS: All supported operating systems

Problem description

After restoring the exchange online data, the files are visible from the online portal but are not visible on Outlook.

Cause

If Microsoft 365 uses Microsoft Outlook version 2013, 2016, or 2019 to connect  to the Microsoft Exchange Server mailbox, the email folders display only the newer items. Since the restored data has older metadata, Outlook does not display it directly.
